I am new to autos. I can not tell clearly from the manual just how to clean/breakdown the 11-87. Outside of cleaning the piston rings, bolt, barrel, is it necessary to break it down further and clean trigger mechanism and the like (I can't even find the gas port hole that the manual says needs a wire stuck through it once in a while to clean the gas system). Also, is there any site/literature outside of the manual that shows how this gun breaks down and is to be cleaned.
-Cheers

here's the 3D break down from remington very easy to follow. You should only have to clean a 11-87 every 100 shells.

Well!, tall order. First the gas ports are in the cylinder under the barrel, there are two holes there that are sometimes hard to see, I use a flash light and pipe cleaners to clean them, with a small amount of solvent, which I make sure is all removed when finished. The trigger group is easy to remove, just use a appropiatly sized punch or other non-marring tool to drift out the two pins in the receiver,{make sure the gun is unloaded and cocked with the saftey in the on position. Make sure the piston rings are clean, and coat them and the gas piston with a good lubricant, and then take it all off. It is important to keep the rings, gas cylinder, and magazine tube free of excessive lubricant, as too much will attract fouling. The trigger assembly needs cleaning every two or three hundred rounds, but weather conditions, and type of ammunition play a major role as to how often that is done. GOOD LUCK, THE SHOT GUNNER"S GURU,,P.S. stay away from the wire brushes some recommend as they scratch the surface, and cause fouling to stick, making your gun harder to clean, soak it, I use Break-Free, and if necessary I will use 0000 steel wool soaked in Break-Free, but if you clean it after each use this won't be a problem.

the prevous replies were all right on the money. but just my two cents... im pretty hard on my 11-87 (dont clean it much) and it normaly takes close to 7-8 hundred rounds before it starts to act up (not that you should wait that long!) i shoot alot so i normaly will wait till 500 rounds and do a quick cleaning and then at 1000+ rounds will really go through it. dropping the trigger assembly ect... when i do this i use gun scrubber to really blast the intricate parts clean and then LIGHTLY oil everything. she's got 10,000 rounds+ and showing no signs of stopping.

I always to seem to have a problem when putting my 11-87 back together. I seem to struggle putting the barrel back into the receiver. Any tips?

well for starters when putting the gun back together make sure to instal the trigger assembly before attaching the barrel then place the action in the cocked position and feed your barrel into the receiver if, while placing the barrel into your gin it starts to fell like there is a little too much resistance clean the receiver where the barrel attaches.
