8. Rotate the firing pin (either direction) until it moves toward the rear of the breechblock and can be withdrawn. The firing pin spring may or may not come out with the pin, but if not, it should fall from its tunnel when the block is elevated to vertical.

9. The breechblock toggle lever can now be moved out to either side and removed.

10. Driving out the small pin at the left will release the extractor for removal. The large pin at center is the locking shoulder for the firing pin collar, and need not be removed. The small pin at the right retains the breechblock control stud and its removal isn’t necessary as it retains no other part.

11. The recoil spring system can be dismantled by removal of a small split-ring clip at its forward end (arrow). CAUTION:Springs are under tension, so remove carefully. Note the arrangement of the springs and attendant parts before disassembly, to be sure they are replaced in the same order.

12. After the grips are removed, move the safety down past the off-safe position and lift it off the frame to the left.

13. Pull the slide latch straight out to the left and remove it. The slide latch spring will slip out of its slot as the latch is removed. The spring is retained on the side of the frame by a single screw.

14. Driving out a small cross-pin at lower rear of the trigger will free the magazine safety and its spring. The trigger is also held by a cross-pin, and after this is removed, the trigger is taken out toward the rear, along with its connector bar.

15. After the slide latch is taken off, the removal of five rolled-steel pins will free the sub-frame, which is then taken out upward from the grip frame. Note that the five sub-frame pins are not all the same size or length. Lay them out in order when they are removed, and be sure that each is returned to its original location. One pin passes through the trigger pivot, another is just to the rear of the trigger pivot. A smaller pin is at the top, in the lower edge of the sub-frame at its center. The last two are located on each side of the safety slot in the grip frame. The sub-frame may be tightly fitted, and should be pried gently upward at the front, in the area between the rear portion of the barrel and the top of the grip frame, then at the rear as soon as there is space to insert a tool. The hammer must be cocked for removal. After the sub-frame is clear of the grip frame, it is advisable to lower the hammer by pressing the sear, because the sear spring is mounted in the grip frame, and the sear is easily tripped. Do not let the hammer fall freely—ease it down.

16. A split-end cross-pin holds the trigger spring inside the trigger, and also retains the trigger bar on the right side. The trigger and sear are held by hollow pivot pins, while the hammer has a solid pivot pin at the rear of the sub-frame. All three of these must be pushed out from right to left. Before removing the hammer pin, turn off the hammer spring nut and remove the spring and its collar from the hammer tail, along with the compression plate at the top. A small roll pin near the center pin of the sub-frame holds the ejector. The sear spring is not in the sub-frame, it is mounted in the grip frame.

17. At the lower rear of the grip frame, the upper pin retains the sear spring, the lower one holds an end plug piece. At the upper rear of the grip frame there is a rubber buffer which cushions the hammer during recoil, and this buffer is easily pried from its recess. The magazine release is retained by a splitring spring clip on the right side. When this clip is forced off its groove in the end of the magazine catch crosspiece, the round, curved, catch-spring comes off to the right, and the catch is removed to the left.
