Remington Speed Master Question

Hi Guys,

Could use some serious help. I have a Remington Speed Master, Model 552, .22 cal, semi-auto I purchased maybe in the late 70's or early 80's. I haven't shot a whole lot of rounds through it and always cleaned the bore, trigger mechanism and inside the receiver after shooting. Anyway, I'm about to start shooting it on a regular basis and wanted to completely disassemble it for a proper cleaning. I can NOT get the barrel removed from the receiver to clean the bolt mechanism. I have followed the owners manual disassembly instructions and it seems the barrel is welded to the receiver. I've tried everything I know how to, to get that puppy out. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. P.S. If memory serves, I believe I paid about $175.00 for that gun, and now it seems to list for $500.00? Gun values seem to go up allot over time?
 
You can do a thorough cleaning job without that step, and that's just what I'd do. I bought my Speedmaster new about the same time, probably 1978. No better functioning, better balanced, more accurate-out-of-the-box .22 rifle anywhere. Whatever else you do, keep it!
 
I cleaned my 552 a while back the barrel to reciever was very tight,I kept pulling and wiggling the two a part.You might try some gun cleaning solvent inside the chamber as well as outside of the barrel where it goes into the reciever.

Do a search on youtube several Remington 552 videos there
