2) Looking at the left side of the receiver (part. # 1) you will see the hammer and breech block
axis pins (part. # 11+12); in-between is a locking plate (fig. 2a). Remove the screw (part. # 31)
that secures it and take the plate off (part. # 30). 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. # 10) and drive or push out the forward (breech block) anteriore axis
pin to the left with the brass punch. As the pin clears the block (part. # 13) will jump up slightly
(fig. 3a).
4) Lift the breech block up and out (fig. 3b).
5) With the block out you can pull the extractor plate (part. # 16) off from its left side.
6) 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 (fig. 4).
7) N/E – Undo the two screws at the front and rear of the left side of the receiver (lower edge)
and pull the trigger mechanism out (part. # 19). These can be very tight, so it’s important to
use the correct screw driver.
And that’s pretty much that. At this stage you have access to the breech block should you need to
remove the firing pin. This task is achieved using the 1/16” punch. All you do is drift out the lower
cross pin to remove the firing pin retractor.
BACK TOGETHER:
For breech block and hammer insertion, both axis pins go in from the left and their milled ends
have to be inwards facing.
1) Reposition the trigger plate and install the front retaining screws.
2) Drop in the hammer and push it forward so you can insert the axis pin through the left side of
the receiver. 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. Install the rear retaining
screw in the trigger plate.
3) Replace the extractor plate into the track on the left side of the breech block and cock the
hammer.
4) In this position, slide the block back in and align and insert its pivot pin. Downwards pressure
must be applied to the block to allow easy insertion.
5) Re-position the plate between the pivot pins and install the retaining screw. This can only be
achieved if both flats are facing inwards.
6) Install the butt stock and insert the stock screws.
