Lubrication and Maintenance
WARNING: Look into the ejection port and check the chamber and the magazine to make sure there are no shells in the firearm before cleaning or storing.
CLEANING
The amount of shooting between cleaning will vary greatly depending on climate, weather conditions, ammunition used and the amount of lubrication.
The Model 11-87™ Autoloading Shotgun and Model 1100™ Autoloading Shotgun are gas-operated firearms.
Gas operation provides significant recoil reduction by bleeding gases off the barrel to pressurize a piston which unlocks and functions the action. These gases carry combustion residues which can foul the magazine tube and/or piston/piston seal assembly, particularly when the firearm is subjected to: cold damp conditions,
over-lubrication or use with ammunition that is not clean-burning.
TO CLEAN THE BARREL:
1. Use the instructions and equipment provided in a good cleaning kit. For recommendations, see your Remington® Authorized Service Center.
2. Select the correct gauge cleaning brush and attach the brush to the cleaning rod.
3. Put the cleaning brush into gun-cleaning solvent.
4. Push the cleaning rod through the barrel several times.
5. Remove the brush from the rod, attach tip with cleaning patch and push through the bore.
6. Repeat several times, using a new, clean patch each time until the patch is not dirty.
7. Remove all of the shooting residue from the locking notch in the barrel.
8. Check the gas hole in the gas cylinder. Use a 1/16" diameter wire to clean the gas hole.
WARNING: After cleaning, make sure the barrel is free of obstructions.
TO CLEAN THE CHOKE TUBE:
1. Remove the choke tube from the barrel.
2. Clean the choke tube, including the threads, with gun-cleaning solvent and wipe dry.
3. Apply Rem™ Oil on threads and reassemble choke tube to the barrel.
WARNING: After cleaning, make sure the barrel is free of obstructions.

Brush with cleaning solvent and wipe clean and dry.
THE PISTON/PISTON SEAL ASSEMBLY: (USED ON MODEL 11-87 12-GA., 11-87 SUPER MAGNUM™ AND

excess lubricant.
WARNING: Excessive use of a non-recommended lubricant could cause
serious function problems possibly leading to accidental firing.
THE RECEIVER ASSEMBLY:
1. Brush the inside of the receiver with cleaning solvent and wipe dry.
2. Clean the outside surface of the magazine tube with cleaning solvent, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Over-lubrication should be avoided at all times. A thin coat
of Rem™ Oil is all that is needed to prevent the possibility
of rusting. See Note below.
When the firearm is to be stored, it should be
carefully cleaned and thoroughly oiled. Outside
surfaces should be wiped with a light coat of
Rem™ Oil occasionally. See Note below.
When firearm is to be reused, all excess
lubrication must be removed. The chamber and bore must
be thoroughly wiped dry.
NOTE: Remington Rem™ Oil is available from your local
dealer. If your dealer is out of stock, ask him to order
Rem™ Oil from his Remington distributor.
