REASSEMBLY
To reassemble the pistol the reverse procedure of
disassembly is usually followed.
Please be guided by the additional instructions for proper
assembly.
1. Mount the barrel and slide assembly on to the frame by
holding both slide and frame bottom side up. Barrel link
must be tilted to the front as far as it can go and make sure the
barrel link pin is flush in its seat. You can now slide the frame
forward into the slide rails.
2. Disconnector and sear are to be assembled together and must
be in the proper position. This can be done by first mounting
the sear over the disconnector with the curved section
inward and lugs pointing downward. Mount the parts
together into the frame by inserting the rounded head of the
disconnector in its hole in the frame so that the flat face of its
lower end rests against the trigger stirrup. PartiaIly press the
trigger so the holes of the two parts will line up with that of
the frame. Holding them this way, insert the sear pin from the
left side of the frame making sure it passes through both
disconnector and sear.
3. When placing back the sear spring, make sure that the lower
end is caught in the slot located at the bottom of the frame
handle. The upper end of the left-hand leaf must rest against
the sear. While retaining this position, slide the
mainspring housing up in its grooves until its end is
projecting only about one-eight of an inch below the edge of
the bottom of the frame.
4. Cock the hammer to replace the safety lock.
5. After replacing the hammer, grip safety and safety lock, cock
the hammer. Make sure the hammer strut rests on the main
spring cap. Then, push the mainspring housing up into the
frame to its final position and retain the assembly by driving
in the mainspring housing pin.
