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!

You are very welcome!!! 😉

You can get the springs from Mcarbo.com look for the 702 plinkster springs it is the same ones.

Yep, I agree with you. The instructions are pretty pathetic. I'm glad you liked the video. Thanks for the feedback!

I agree with everything you’ve said.

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.

Very glad that it helped. Thank you for the positive feedback! 😉

Hey Robb, thanks for the kind words. I’m glad that you found the video helpful, and I look forward to seeing your review!

Thanks very much. I'm glad that you found it helpful. Have fun with you Rossi! 😉

I have the Rossi 22 it is a very good 22 and very accurate .

@@michaelwimberly4598 I agree. It doesn't get the love that it deserves!!! 😉

Hey Joe, Thanks for the kind words. Very glad it helped!

Glad you found it helpful! 😀

Thank you very much!

You are very welcome!

You are more than welcome. I'm glad it was helpful. 😉

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.

Glad you liked it. I hope it helped.

@@chadwickmeyer7844 Definitly! Your way of putting the recoil pin, bolt and trigger back is a really good and easy method.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm happy you found it helpful!

@@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.

@@chadwickmeyer7844 I just found a video from mcarbo doing an upgrade on a trigger spring. That video should help and thanks for your help

No Problem. Glad it helped!

@@chadwickmeyer7844 Helped me.

Thank you. Glad you found it useful!

Very glad it helped! 😉

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!

No problem. Happy to help!

You are very welcome. I’m glad that it helped!

@@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.

No problem. Glad you found it helpful! 😉

Hey Zandler, thanks!

Yup, that’ll work!! Heck, anything else has got to be better.than the way the directions say to do it! 😂

You are very welcome. I strive for simple! 😉

No problem, glad you found it useful!

That bolt looks alot like a marlin . i wonder if there interchangeable

@@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.

Thank you!

Thank you! Glad it helped. 😉

What did you use for the bore? New to .22 LR

@@chadwickmeyer7844 What did you use to clean the bore, and how did you? Rod/Barrel Snake?

@@70bonnevilleguy53 I use a barrel snake. It seems to work just fine.

@@chadwickmeyer7844 Should be easy to find?

You are very welcome!

Glad it helped! 😉

Very glad that you found it helpful!

Glad you liked it! 😉

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. 😉

Hi Scott had the Rossi rs22 semi auto fire his gun jam?I want To buy one . Thanks

@@sochris939 I have not had any failure to feed or failure to eject.

Hehe.... Yes, your right, I need to give them some "love!"

No problem. Have fun with it!

@@chadwickmeyer7844 just got 400 rounds through it and cleaned it not to bad. have you had the trigger assembly apart? if so can you do a video on it

@@useless844 sorry, I’ve never taken it apart. I’ve just use Q-Tips and WD40 for that.

@@chadwickmeyer7844 Absolutely👍🏾

No problem, hope it helped.

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."

Attempt #2 a success 👍 thanks for the help

I’m sorry, I don’t know about that screw.

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.

Sure, but I will tell you up front that it is very loose.

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.

@@chadwickmeyer7844 thank you.

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

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.

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

Look for Mossberg 702 recoil spring on ebay, just saw one. It comes with the guide rod.

It's a different build, but the same concept. Almost all guns are.

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.

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.

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!

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

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. 😉

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

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!

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.

Make sure that you search for both the Rossi AND Mossberg Plinkster. They are the same.

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

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.

Hehe, easy to clean though.
