Your video has been the most helpful of all I’ve viewed. The process with the bolt and the extra pressure needed to seat the trigger assembly housing was invaluable. Thanks.
Thank you very much for this video. The instructions for disassembly and assembly in the Rossi Instruction Manual leave much to be desired. In fact, they are useless in my opinion. Your excellent video saved the day!
Dude, I’ve had this Mossberg 702 for about 10+ YEARS. The manual went right in the trash along with the box it came in when I was 21 years old back in about 2010. Coming back to this gun I’m like 😳. I did kink the spring, but after some extreme frustration, I looked up this video and was like “aaaaah ok, I see”. Very well explained; quick, easy, and to the point.
I’ll add my praises for this video! I agree it seems to be the best approach for reassembly I’ve seen, including other videos and the instructions. I had bent my original spring badly enough to keep the action from working properly. I also managed to lose my buffer after forgetting to put it back in after cleaning. After a replacement spring from M*Carbo and a replacement buffer from eBay, I’m back in business! Hopefully with your tips here it will last a while! One thing I would add here - the trigger assembly seems to only go in easily if the safety is on safe. I know you remind your audience to put on safe, but it seems to be a functional requirement as well as for safety, for me anyway. Thanks again! I do enjoy this video as well as this great little rifle!
Phil, Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm happy that you found the video useful! I am also relieved to hear that I am not the only one who forgets about the Buffer!!! I have often fantasized about supergluing it to the receiver, but it probably isn't a good idea! I never realized that the trigger needed to be on safe when reinstalling it, but that's probably it has always been on safe when I did it anyway. I did, however, forget to mention that the hammer needs to be cocked back or it will not fit on (common sense I guess). Anyway, glad you like the video and the rifle. I have tons of fun with mine. Happy Holidays and Happy Plinking!
I've had the Rossi version of this for a few months. The first time I disassembled it, of course I bent the spring. Not enough to cause any issues, but it was a close call, and a royal PITA to reassemble. After watching this video, I gave it another try (it was filthy btw) and it was vastly simpler to do, with virtually no risk of damaging that fiddly spring. Thank you for the vid and a better/safer way to clean my rifle.
Excellent video. I bought one last week and took it to the range. Shot great but seemed very sluggish with the bolt and recoil action. Dissembled and found factory grease and gunk in the receiver and on the bolt and recoil spring.. Cleaned all and lightly lubed. Working very smoothly now. To all new purchasers of this rifle, dissemble and clean first before shooting.
I did not kink the spring but I was having a very hard time getting everything lined up.. your video made it so easy, I took it apart again just to make sure everything was correct
I decided to use the manual instructions to help me take apart and clean my new Rossi. After a few minutes, I realized I should have watched a video. I watched several Rossi cleaning videos a month or so ago but forget what they said. I watched yours. I was very happy I did. I am doing a review of my Rossi and will be leaving a link to your video for any viewer who wants to see how to take part and assemble their Rossi. I also subscribed. 😎👍
Thanks for this. I found your technique to get the spring, bolt, and guide pin back in place to be helpful, but it put too much pressure on my fingertip to squeeze the guide pin into its seat. I started like you had but traded off my grip by pinching the tip of the guide pin with needle nose pliers before sliding it completely into the receiver.
Best video so far on disassembly enough to give me the confidence I need to clean my Rossi finally so no more misfiring due to a dirty rifle after one day use
@@chadwickmeyer7844 any advice on the trigger housing it's a very gritty when I squeeze the trigger and it's filthy in there so until I see somebody else disassemble and reassemble their trigger housing I can't touch mine yet
@@crypto_pinto2660 Well, it really depends on how patient you are. I have never taken the trigger assembly apart, but I have cleaned it using WD-40 and Q-tips. If you take your time, you can get alot of the grit out. Another thing that I have done is run the trigger assembly under very hot water, shake it out, and then use a hair dryer on it for a few minutes. I then spray a bit of WD-40 in afterwards. This gets it very clean. It all depends on you comfort level about the water.
I had a hard time with the pins too. Was afraid to damage the rifle and gave it up first time. Than I saw your video and everything was clear. Thank you very much. In Europe they are calling it Rossi 7022 and it costs twice the price. Still a great rifle for the money.
I agree, they are a great little rifle. I'm glad the video helped. I almost gave up on those pins, because I thought I was doing something wrong (they were so tight I thought I was going to break something!) Sorry that they are so expensive for you guys.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 My RS22 was a sleeper. I bought it because it was a decent 10/22 for a decent price, and it's turned out to be one of my favorite plinkers. Haha.
THANK YOU MUCH!! I actually kinked the spring on my 702 before looking up your video. Frustrated as hell. The kinked spring didn’t end up being a problem, but after watching how you did it, I was like “OOHHHHHH”. Worked perfectly. Thanks again brother.
Same here! Haven't disassembled it in years since the first time I had such a hard time trying to follow instructions and bent the spring. Until it jambed today from being so dirty... Email Mossberg and they should give you a few springs for free.. this video made it sooooo much easier, excellent trick!
@@geraldhoskins2021 I was thinking/wondering the same thing when I watched a Marlin 60 takedown video. I don't own one, but my Brother-in-law does. I'll do a side by side comparison of them next chance I get.
I have this gun. Great gun for the money. I also have a Marlin model 60. The Rossi RS22 seems to be based on the marlin. Both are great guns. The Rossi RS22 is my 10 year old daughters favorite. I have several 22s from many different manufacturers and she tried them all but likes the RS22 the best.
Yep, the Rossi is great fun to shoot, but both the Marlin 60 an Ruger 10/22 have a much more "sturdy" feel to them. I have a Marlin 25N bolt action that I love for it's trigger and accuracy. It's no surprise that your daughter liked the Rossi best. It's much lighter and smaller than most others. 😉
I have a Mossberg 715T A2 that has this same action and 18" barrel and the assy/disassy are the same once you remove the external casing that makes it look like an AR. It is a good shooting .22 and accuracy is decent.
Great video to help with a very tricky rifle to take down/reassemble sir! I have to say, when I saw your pliers all I could think of was soaking them with some Ballistol and cleaning them up! Just sayin... Peace.
Bro everything to know in one video! Doesnt get better than that. Thank you sm for showing me how to lock the slide back! Only thing you could have done better is shown where to lube her up at but common sense should be lingering somewhere 🤣 big upp. Thank you so much
Fantastic "how to" video for this rifle, Chad! Now if I could only use this method for the RS22M! Also, do you have any recommendation for how much torque to tighten the two barrel-receiver retention screws? My understanding is over-torquing can negatively impact accuracy.
Thanks for the video My safety button is stuck on fire what holds it in a tiny hex head or star screw I see the hole through the trigger guard where a tool can be inserted any help would be helpful thanks
Realistically, how often do you recommend cleaning the action? After like 500-700 rounds? I don’t use dirty stuff like Remington green bulk box, and i do bore snake it after like 80-100 rounds.
I'm a bit of a clean freak. I clean mine almost every time I shoot, but others have said that they hardly every clean theirs. They wait until it starts to "act up."
What do you mean by "back part"? If you mean chopping off the synthetic stock, then yes it would still function. You would need to keep the grip portion of the stock. I have no clue if it is solid or hollow inside.
Can you show how much Play is in the charging handle when empty, I just bought one and it feels very loose don't know if it's normal or send it back to the store, can't believe no one has shown this on a video yet this question has been trending for sometime now thanks
The charging handle does feel a bit loose in the gun, but that seems to be the way it is designed. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is affecting the guns performance.
Is the front sight glued onto yours? Well, not "glued" per se but adhesive of some sort. Mine came with what looks like a bolt hole on the front sight,, but there's no bolt in it and it looks like there's glue like they just glued it to the barrel? I bought it brand new from a retail sports store in my area. I'm speaking about a rossi rs22
I think that the front sight is glued in place. There is a screw, but when I took it out the front sight was still firmly attached. I don't know how to take it off. 🤔
@@chadwickmeyer7844 I looked again and figured it out. The circular part that protects the red optic, slides off by pushing it forward, like towards the tip of the barrel. Then, the piece that holds the red fiber optic in place, you push that to the right to slide it out of the main plastic piece that holds the optic to the gun. Once you slide that second piece off, you'll be able to see a second screw. Once you get that second screw undone, the whole thing will come right off. I realized the adhesive isn't actually holding the optic to the barrel, it's just kinda helping keep it in place so it doesn't move around. Took me too long to figure that out. Ive never had fiber optic sights before so I wasn't aware it came apart like that I hope I explained that good enough.
Is your charging handle wobbly??? Love the rifle picked one up for a hundred bucks extremely accurate the charging handle on mine is just extremely wobbly
I have never tried to remove the barrel. It isn't like a 10/22 (which is easily modified). If you look at the receiver, with the barrel pointed to the right, you can see 2 small roll pins. I THINK those are what keep the barrel in place. Good luck!
I was able to "bend" my first spring back into a somewhat straight line. If you are able to do that, you should be good to go. A new spring is very cheap (less than $10 for a pack of 2 springs). If you can't "unkink" the spring, I wouldn't chance it.
You know the pins that secure the Rossi rs-22.are to stay attached... I mean, You can do what you did but, if you notice that one side is slightly smaller & the opposite side has hash marks/ extrusions so that, you can keep the pins attached if you lay the rifle down bolt side facing down & push from the opposite side. They are meant to stay captured.
Hey DJ. Thanks for the input. I’m not 100% convinced that what you are saying is correct though. I realize that the pins are tapered, but I doubt that they would go out the other way.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 Having been a allotment of time since I have handled my Rossi,I think it might have been the day I made the comment) however, When I disassemble my Rs-22, I knock the pins 99% out of the way though I've never completely removed them. I AM SURE THERE IS NO HARM IN REMOVING THEM OR, keeping them captured, Either way works! Plz keep in mind that I am new to the Rossi rs-22 & meant NO HARM!!!
@@chadwickmeyer7844 ProMotion on youtube has a video showing him disassemble & reassemble his Rossi & his way is the best waybI have seen! I also noticed that it appears that he also removed his pins so, Again I WANT TO EXPRESS MY APOLOGIES, just because I retain the pins in mine does not mean that is how it is to be done! You are correct! I was wrong!!!
Sure. I would be happy to, but I don't do anything "special". I take a cloth and toothbrush over the parts to get any carbon off and sometimes use a pick for the hard stuff. Run a "bore-snake" and call it a day.
First, I’m glad that you liked the video, and I hope you found it helpful. Second, you’re 100% correct. If you don’t have an old Allen wrench lying around, then there are plenty of cheap alternatives that you can get. Third, if your old Allen wrench works well as a punch, then by all means USE IT! 😂😂😂
No, it is not useless. You can try to bend it back straight. If you can get it somewhat straight, you should be fine. The one I replaced worked when it was bent after I worked on it.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 Amazon didn't have any so I tried going to mossburges website, and they didn't have them either. I'll try eBay. Thanks for the help man
Any firearm will have the occasional jam (whether from a failure to feed or something else), but I have found my Rossi to be vary reliable with many different types of ammunition. Personally, I tend to stay with either Federal or CCI, but that is just a personal choice. I have had good results with Remington and Winchester as well.
Does anyone else's Rossi have the problem of the bolt getting caught up on the top of the magazine? I have to pull the magazine down, without hitting the magazine release lever. This gets the magazine on the lowest position and allows the bolt to cycle freely. If I do not do this, it jams quite a bit. I just figured you get what you pay for. Its not bad, mine is pretty accurate, but the jamming issue is very frustrating.
Yes, someone else made a comment about people being able to see my address. I'll ask you the same thing I asked them, and I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I am honestly curious... Why would I care if people know where I live? They can come over and we can go shooting together!! 😂😂😂
@@chadwickmeyer7844 lol yeah good point but regardless of that I did press the link and it doesnt take you anywhere aswell as theres probably a million 15 swift streets in the us as is so it doesnt matter anyway. Anyways, keep up the good content I am planning to purchase one of these in the near future my father already has one and for what it is you cant beat it!
I appreciate the warning, but I'm a pretty inoffensive kind of guy. If someone comes looking for me because of this video, I'll offer them a Pepsi and we can discuss the pros and cons of the Rossi. 😂😂 Did you find the video helpful?
This reassembly technique that you don’t have to put the spring together with the receiver is GAME CHANGING, man! Thank you!

I bought it brand new from a retail sports store in my area. I'm speaking about a rossi rs22
I think that the front sight is glued in place. There is a screw, but when I took it out the front sight was still firmly attached. I don't know how to take it off. 🤔
@@chadwickmeyer7844 I looked again and figured it out. The circular part that protects the red optic, slides off by pushing it forward, like towards the tip of the barrel. Then, the piece that holds the red fiber optic in place, you push that to the right to slide it out of the main plastic piece that holds the optic to the gun. Once you slide that second piece off, you'll be able to see a second screw. Once you get that second screw undone, the whole thing will come right off. I realized the adhesive isn't actually holding the optic to the barrel, it's just kinda helping keep it in place so it doesn't move around. Took me too long to figure that out. Ive never had fiber optic sights before so I wasn't aware it came apart like that
I hope I explained that good enough.
@@SilencedLamb69 Hey thanks. I will check it out when I get the chance. I'm pretty sure that I get what you are saying.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 you're welcome
so this i basically a ruger 10/22 clone.... is it any different than the ruger?
It's a different build, but the same concept. Almost all guns are.
how does the barrel attach to the receiver?
It's not meant to come off the way a Ruger 10/22 does. There are 2 roll pins in front of the bolt, but I have never tried removing them. Sorry.
Idk what i did wrong but my charging handle rattles now i didnt before
Is your charging handle wobbly??? Love the rifle picked one up for a hundred bucks extremely accurate the charging handle on mine is just extremely wobbly
Yes. The charging handle does not "lock in" very tightly, but that doesn't seem to effect the performance at all.
Ok cool I took it apart and cleaned it and I didn't notice it before I guess that's why they're so cheap
Parece com a 7022
My charging handle is loose anyone else’s like that or do I need to take it apart and tighten it never done it before I suppose it can be tightened
It looks similar will it fit in 10/22 stocks?
I am sure that you would need to do some cutting and shaping to the 10/22 stock. They have much different magazines. I have never tried it myself.
Hi :
Can you tell me how the barrel is held in , pictures or video .
Thank You Joe
I have never tried to remove the barrel. It isn't like a 10/22 (which is easily modified). If you look at the receiver, with the barrel pointed to the right, you can see 2 small roll pins. I THINK those are what keep the barrel in place. Good luck!
@@chadwickmeyer7844 Do you have a Mossberg 702 you would want to sell ?
@@joehenry447 no, sorry.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 Thanks - Joe
Question : can I still shoot safely although I kinked the recoil spring?
I was able to "bend" my first spring back into a somewhat straight line. If you are able to do that, you should be good to go. A new spring is very cheap (less than $10 for a pack of 2 springs). If you can't "unkink" the spring, I wouldn't chance it.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 thank you.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 Put my kinked spring in a small vice. Was able to straighten it t0 about 90%
@@charliecross3198 Yeah, I think I just spent some time using needle nosed pliers, but either way will work! Hehehe.
You can get the springs from Mcarbo.com look for the 702 plinkster springs it is the same ones.
You know the pins that secure the Rossi rs-22.are to stay attached... I mean, You can do what you did but, if you notice that one side is slightly smaller & the opposite side has hash marks/ extrusions so that, you can keep the pins attached if you lay the rifle down bolt side facing down & push from the opposite side. They are meant to stay captured.
Hey DJ. Thanks for the input. I’m not 100% convinced that what you are saying is correct though. I realize that the pins are tapered, but I doubt that they would go out the other way.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 Having been a allotment of time since I have handled my Rossi,I think it might have been the day I made the comment) however, When I disassemble my Rs-22, I knock the pins 99% out of the way though I've never completely removed them. I AM SURE THERE IS NO HARM IN REMOVING THEM OR, keeping them captured, Either way works! Plz keep in mind that I am new to the Rossi rs-22 & meant NO HARM!!!
@@chadwickmeyer7844 ProMotion on youtube has a video showing him disassemble & reassemble his Rossi & his way is the best waybI have seen! I also noticed that it appears that he also removed his pins so, Again I WANT TO EXPRESS MY APOLOGIES, just because I retain the pins in mine does not mean that is how it is to be done! You are correct! I was wrong!!!
@@d.j.9961 Hey D.J. No worries, I wasn’t upset. Happy shooting.
😉
@@chadwickmeyer7844 likewise.. Thanx!!Thank!!! No harm was intended & in afterthought, idk what I was thinking!
Ok the bolt assembly is a lot like the Marlin Model 60
Can you do one showing how to clean it?
Sure. I would be happy to, but I don't do anything "special". I take a cloth and toothbrush over the parts to get any carbon off and sometimes use a pick for the hard stuff. Run a "bore-snake" and call it a day.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 Ahhhh...the bore snake is worth its weight in gold! Thanks!
@@DeVonMArtis No problem!
Nice video, but seriously, you can get a punch set and jewelers hammer from Harbor Freight for less than $20 total. The right tool for the right job.
First, I’m glad that you liked the video, and I hope you found it helpful.
Second, you’re 100% correct. If you don’t have an old Allen wrench lying around, then there are plenty of cheap alternatives that you can get.
Third, if your old Allen wrench works well as a punch, then by all means USE IT!
😂😂😂
@@chadwickmeyer7844 If the only firearm you're ever going to work on is this $100 .22, sure. If not, get some real tools.
@@craigfelter Fair point. 😉
So of you kink the spring is it us less? Or do you need to robust order a new one?
No, it is not useless. You can try to bend it back straight. If you can get it somewhat straight, you should be fine.
The one I replaced worked when it was bent after I worked on it.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 I think i can bend it back. If I can't get it to function I'll just order a new spring.
What's the function of the buffer?
@@colemanhuckins1181 It prevents the metal bolt from slamming into the rear (inside) of the metal receiver after you fire each round.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 I see. Thanks
Where can you order more springs from????
I went to eBay.
I did a search for Mossberg 702 recoil spring.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 Amazon didn't have any so I tried going to mossburges website, and they didn't have them either. I'll try eBay. Thanks for the help man
You can get the springs from Mcarbo.com look for the 702 plinkster springs it is the same ones.
Had the Rossi semi auto jammed?
Any firearm will have the occasional jam (whether from a failure to feed or something else), but I have found my Rossi to be vary reliable with many different types of ammunition. Personally, I tend to stay with either Federal or CCI, but that is just a personal choice. I have had good results with Remington and Winchester as well.
Thank you so much
I broke the damn spring and still looking for a new one. Until I find it it's staying disassembled 🤦♂️
Make sure that you search for both the Rossi AND Mossberg Plinkster. They are the same.
Does anyone else's Rossi have the problem of the bolt getting caught up on the top of the magazine? I have to pull the magazine down, without hitting the magazine release lever. This gets the magazine on the lowest position and allows the bolt to cycle freely. If I do not do this, it jams quite a bit.
I just figured you get what you pay for. Its not bad, mine is pretty accurate, but the jamming issue is very frustrating.
Does this happen on more than 1 magazine? I have 2 different magazines, and don’t have this problem with either one.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 Yes, i have 8 to 10 different magazines that it does it on.
Hmmm, I would get in contact with them. Maybe they will offer you a replacement.
@@chadwickmeyer7844 Thank you.
The pins won’t go flush no matter how hard I push them in
My gun was supposed to be brand new but its so dirty that i think its used lol
Hehe, easy to clean though.
almost the same as a marlin model 60
Lol fyi dude you kinda docs ur address
Yes, someone else made a comment about people being able to see my address. I'll ask you the same thing I asked them, and I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I am honestly curious...
Why would I care if people know where I live? They can come over and we can go shooting together!! 😂😂😂
@@chadwickmeyer7844 lol yeah good point but regardless of that I did press the link and it doesnt take you anywhere aswell as theres probably a million 15 swift streets in the us as is so it doesnt matter anyway. Anyways, keep up the good content I am planning to purchase one of these in the near future my father already has one and for what it is you cant beat it!
@@nvdefrank Hehe, thanks.
Have fun with it!
May want to take your location data off the video. You don't want people knowing where you live
I appreciate the warning, but I'm a pretty inoffensive kind of guy. If someone comes looking for me because of this video, I'll offer them a Pepsi and we can discuss the pros and cons of the Rossi. 😂😂
Did you find the video helpful?
@@chadwickmeyer7844 yes I have 3 rossi's been thinking about the aftermarket folding stock
