block and the barrel (part. # 1) to unscrew the nipple (part. # 4) and/or the breech plug (part. #
12).
DISASSEMBLING THE BARREL FROM THE FRAME
1) Unscrew and remove the forend screw (part. # 10).
2) Loosen, without removing, the screw (part. # 49) which is inside the hole previously closed by
the screw (part. # 10) using the proper hexagonal wrench (part. # 51).
3) Move the rear band (part. # 8a) and push forward the forend, (part. # 13) to disassemble it
from the frame (part. # 19).
4) Pay attention to the ramrod spring (part. # 6) which can engage the forend hampering
disassembling. In this case keep the spring slightly compressed using a screwdriver or a
punch.
5) If you need to remove the rear band from the barrel, it will be necessary:
6) disassemble the front sight (part. # 5).
7) disassemble the front and middle bands (part. # 8-9) undoing the screws (part. # 17).
8) Cock the hammer (part. # 20).
9) Withdraw the breech block (part. # 28).
10) Using the wrench (part. # 2), eventually helping with the wrench, (part. # 46) undo the blocking
ring (part. # 3) counterclockwise.

a wood or plastic hammer, until the barrel separates from the frame.

HOW TO CHANGE THE FIRING PIN
1) To replace the firing pin (part. # 30), please follow instructions points 1, 2, 3 of the
“disassembling the frame”.
2) Pay attention that once the breech block is disassembled from the rifle, do not uncock the
hammer or the mainspring (part. # 26) will get out of alignment and placing it back can be
difficult.
3) When the breech block is disassembled, undo the screw (part. # 41) remove the spring (part. #
42) and the firing pin ball (part. # 43).
4) Remove the pin (part. # 44) using the 1/16” punch and remove the firing pin retractor (part. #
23).
5) Remove the firing pin.
6) To reassemble the firing pin follow instructions in reverse taking care backwards, caring to
place the firing pin in the correct position with the cut on the bottom, such that the firing pin
retractor lever can fit into this cut.
