I just purchased a Sportsman 58 and have been looking for the same answer. Here's a website that may help (I have not verified that it's a good description): www.100megspop3.com/oldvalkyry/m58.html
Also, AJ Arms Books (something like that, online) sells take down manuals for $7.95
You probably already have an answer to this question, but I also have a Remington 58 and have an owner's manual coming from Remington Arms for free. Just go to their site and request an outdated firearms manual. And to answer your question about assembly, you have to unscrew the knurled knob at the end of the magazine under the barrel. If you can't move it, use pliers, but be sure to cushion the teeth with some heavy cloth to prevent damaging the knob. Good Luck

First of all you have the "sportsman 48", "sportsman 58" and the "sportsman". If it is a plain sportsman it's value depending on it's condition is from 150 to 200 dollars.
If shotgun is in good working condition and no rust or cracks, then it would have a value of between $225 - $300.
awesome guns, great collector excellent condition worth $3000 I have one for sale :)
Follow the instructions in the owner's manual. If you don't have one, find a gun shop. They will most likely be glad to help.
This model Cross refernces out to a Remington Sportsman 58, introduced in 1956, the Sportsman-58 was Remington's first gas-operated shotgun. You can request an owners manual for obsolete firearms at www.remington.com click on sportsmans library, then downloads, then owners manuals, then click obsolete owners manuals, you will have to register but it is worth it to get the free manual.
