Tools required:
• Medium and small screwdrivers
• Hammer
•
1
/
4
” brass punch
•
1
/
16
” steel punch
***(N/E)=NOT ESSENTIAL***
1) (N/E) – Undo the screw at the top rear of the tang (part. # 37) and pull the butt off, (part. # 16)
it may be tight so slap the front of the comb with your hand.
2) Looking at the left side of the receiver (part. # 19) you will see the hammer and breech block
axis pins; (part. # 27) in-between is a locking plate (part. # 29 / fig. 2a). Remove the screw
(part. # 40) that secures it and take the plate off. Note both pins have flat faces that engage
with the sides of the plate to stop them rotating. These face inwards (fig. 2b).
3) Cock the hammer (part. # 20) and drive or push out the forward front (breech block) axis pin to
the left with the brass punch. As the pin clears the block (part. # 28) will jump up slightly (fig.
3a).
4) Lower the hammer and push it down/forward past its normal position and tap or push out its
pivot pin to the left and lift it up and out (see 3b).
5) (N/E) - Undo the two screws (part. # 38-39) at the front and rear of the left side of the receiver
(lower edge) and pull the trigger mechanism (part. # 21) out. These can be very tight, so it’s
important to use the correct sized blade.
At this stage you have access to the breech block should you need to remove the firing pin or
replace the trigger and hammer springs.
6) Back together
For breech block and hammer insertion, both axis pins go in from the left and their milled ends
have to face inwards.
7) Drop in the hammer and push it forward so you can insert the axis pin through the left side of
the the receiver.
8) Cock the hammer.
9) In this position, slide the block back in and align and insert its pivot pin here. Downwards
pressure must be applied to the block to allow easy operation.
10) Reposition the trigger plate and re-fit the front retaining screws. Once in position, push a long
screwdriver up through the rear of the action to ensure the main spring engages the lobe at the
rear of the hammer. Re-fit the rear retaining screw.
11) Re-position the button between the pivot pins and re-fit the retaining screw. This can only be
achieved if both flats are facing inwards.
12) Re-fit the butt and insert the stock screw.
DISASSEMBLING THE NIPPLE AND THE BREECH PLUG
