3 Remove the slide stop from the pistol frame by pushing the
protrusion on the right side of the pistol (Figure 20). Lift up
slightly on the serrated portion of the slide stop to disengage it
from the frame and pull it out of the frame (Figure 21).
4 Grasp the slide firmly, pull it rearward slightly and move the
“safety” lever down. The slide will move forward under spring
tension and off the frame (Figure 22).
5 While holding the slide, press the head of the recoil spring guide
forward to release the head of the recoil spring guide from the
barrel. Remove the recoil spring and its guide (Figure 23).
6 To remove the barrel from the
slide, lift up the barrel lug and
slide the barrel out rearward
(Figure 24). Disassembly to
this point is sufficient for
normal maintenance of your
pistol (Figure 25).
No further disassembly
is recommended as the
pistol is now stripped
adequately for normal
maintenance and cleaning.
IF FURTHER DISASSEMBLY SHOULD EVER BECOME NECESSARY IT SHOULD
ONLY BE PERFORMED BY OUR SERVICE FACILITY IN ARNOLD, MISSOURI,
OR AN AUTHORIZED BROWNING SERVICE CENTER. NO OTHER PERSON
SHOULD ATTEMPT TO PERFORM FURTHER DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY
