How to Assemble a Remington 2-22 Rifle

Remington introduced the 2-22 double rifle, also known as the SPR 22, in 2006, and production continued until 2008. Designed and manufactured in Baikal, Russia, this rifle is unique in that it features a side-by-side barrel design chambered in 45-70 and 30-06. It is unusual to find a double rifle chambered in these medium-bore calibers as double rifles are more often used for large and dangerous game hunting. In addition to this, the rifle is shipped disassembled, forcing the owner to assemble it.

Instructions

    • 1

      Remove the packaging and isolate the parts. Clear the breach of any cartridges, making sure the firearm does not contain any ammunition.

    • 2

      Pull the mechanical lever in the middle of the forend wood, and pull the forend off of the barrel combination. Do not force the forend off the barrel. As long as pressure is maintained on the lever, separation should be smooth.

    • 3

      Push the large barrel lever, located on the top of the receiver just in front of the stock, to the right, holding it in place.

    • 4

      Fit the locking lugs on the bottom of the barrels into the slots in the receiver. Once in place, hinge the barrels upward until they fit against the receiver, locking in place.

    • 5

      Release the lever on the top of the receiver.

    • 6

      Attach the forend once again by pulling the mechanical lever in the center of the wood and pushing the rear end of the wood into the receiver, followed by the front end. The forend should click into place. Release the mechanical lever so that it falls into its resting position. If the lever does not rest completely, reposition the forend.
