Remington 700ML Instruction Manual

							6. Insert the bore cleaning tube into the receiver and against the breech plug threads. Do not thread this tube
into the barrel.
7. Attach a bore mop to the ramrod with the extension and handle assembled and insert it through the bore
cleaning tube and into the barrel.
8. Place the muzzle in clean, hot water and pull the bore mop back through the barrel into the bore cleaning
tube. This action will pull clean water through the bore and breech plug threads. 
9. Repeat step 8 several times swabbing the bore with short strokes until the barrel and breech plug threads are clean.
10. Thread the bore cleaning tube into the breech plug threads and remove the bore mop.
11. Place a cleaning patch with Remington
®Wonder Lube®paste for black powder evenly over the jag and
push it into the bore from the breech. Swab the bore with short strokes to uniformly apply the paste.
12. Repeat step 11 several times to properly condition and preserve the bore. 
13. Thoroughly clean and dry the breech plug and nipple.
14. Sparingly apply Remington Wonder Lube paste for black powder on the threads of the breech plug and nipple.
NOTE:Avoid putting Remington Wonder Lube for black powder on the front face of the breech plug and nipple
and in the flash hole of the nipple. Excess Remington Wonder Lube for black powder may foul the powder
charge and possibly cause a misfire or hangfire.
15. Reinstall the breech plug and the nipple. See pages 10 and 11.
16. Wipe the exterior of the barrel and receiver with a cloth treated with Remington Wonder Lube for black powder.
TO CLEAN THE RECEIVER AND TRIGGER ASSEMBLY:
1. Keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, put the safety mechanism to the ‘S’ position, open the bolt
and be sure there is no percussion cap or percussion cap residue remaining on the nipple.
2. Use the ramrod to be sure there is no charge in the barrel. See page 6.
WARNING: If there is a charge in the barrel, do not attempt to remove it by shooting it out if you are
unsure what the charge is or if you are unsure if the charge is safe. Instead, remove the charge using
the instructions on pages 18 and 19.
3. Remove the bolt assembly. See page 10.
4. Turn the rifle upside down.
5. Remove the three screws and remove the barreled action from the
stock. See Picture 20.
6. Spray the four points of the trigger assembly with Rem™ Oil as
shown. See Picture 21. Let stand for 15 minutes. Spray again to
wash off the components. Shake off excess lubricant.
NOTE:Prevent the Rem™ Oil from entering the barrel by installing the
breech plug and nipple. The petroleum base lubricant will break down
the protective coating of Remington Wonder Lube paste for black 
powder in the barrel and increase the barrel fouling after shooting.
7. Wipe away powder fouling in the receiver with a cloth containing
Remington All-Natural Bore Cleaner.
8. Wipe down the exterior of the receiver and barrel with a cloth treated
with Remington Wonder Lube paste for black powder.
WARNING: Do not apply Remington Wonder Lube paste for black powder to any part of the trigger assembly.
The trigger assembly and the bolt assembly are the only components of your rifle that require cleaning with
Rem™ Oil only. The use of a non-recommended lubricant could cause serious function problems, possibly
leading to accidental firing.
9. Replace the barreled action in the stock and reinstall the three screws. See Picture 20.

							To Clean the Bolt Assembly
TO DISASSEMBLE THE BOLT ASSEMBLY:
1. Remove the bolt assembly from the firearm. See page 10.
2. Pull the bolt assembly away from the firing pin assembly by hooking
the notch on the firing pin head over a metal edge and pulling. See
Picture 22. Insert a coin into the slot that will become visible in the
side of the firing pin head.
3. Holding the bolt assembly, unscrew the firing pin assembly and slide it out of the bolt body.
CAUTION:Clean the firing pin assembly as a unit. No further disassembly is required.
4. Clean all parts with Remington
®All-Natural Bore Cleaner and dry with a clean cloth.
5. Apply a light coat of Rem™ Oil to all parts.
NOTE:The trigger assembly and bolt assembly should be lubricated with Rem™ Oil instead of Remington
Wonder Lube®paste for black powder. The use of a non-recommended lubricant could cause serious function
problems, possibly leading to accidental firing.
TO ASSEMBLE THE BOLT ASSEMBLY:
1. Slide the firing pin assembly into the rear of the bolt assembly.
2. Tighten the firing pin assembly by hand only.
3. Pull the coin from the slot in the firing pin head.
4. Align the firing pin head with the small notch in the rear of the bolt
assembly. The bolt is now cocked. See Picture 23.
5. Assemble the bolt assembly in the receiver. See instructions on page 9.
Field Cleaning
WARNING: BE SURE THAT YOUR RIFLE IS UNLOADED PRIOR TO CLEANING. SEE PAGE 6. ATTEMPTING TO
CLEAN A LOADED OR PRIMED FIREARM CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS.
See pages 18 and 19 to unload the firearm.
Follow this procedure to clean your muzzleloader in the field:
1. Keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, put the safety mechanism in the ‘S’ position, open the bolt
and be sure there is no percussion cap or percussion cap residue remaining on the nipple.
2. Use the ramrod to ensure there is no charge in the barrel. See page 6.
WARNING: If there is a charge in the barrel, do not attempt to remove it by shooting it out if you are
unsure what the charge is or if you are unsure if the charge is safe. Instead, remove the charge using
the instructions on pages 18 and 19. 
3. Attach the cleaning jag to the ramrod. Assemble the ramrod extension and handle and place a cleaning patch
soaked with Remington All-Natural Bore Cleaner evenly over cleaning jag.
4. Push the cleaning jag into the barrel at the muzzle and swab the bore with short strokes until the jag reaches the
breech plug. Remove the ramrod and remove the cleaning patch from the jag.
5. Repeat step 4 with a dry patch.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until the dry patch remains clean.
7. Place a cleaning patch with Remington Wonder Lube paste for black powder evenly over the jag and push it into
the bore from the breech. Swab the bore with short strokes to uniformly apply the paste.
8. Repeat step 7 several times to properly condition and preserve the bore.
9. Point the firearm in a safe direction and fire at least two percussion caps to make sure the flash hole through
the nipple is clear and dry. Residual bore cleaner at the breech could saturate the powder and increase the
possibility of a misfire or hangfire.
WARNING: Wait at least one full minute after firing the last percussion cap before pouring powder into
the bore to allow time for any residual sparks to be extinguished.
