It was a tad oily with silicone but otherwise is great shape.
One side is headed pins…
The other e-clips holding those pins in…
I really love the use of threaded inserts in the well molded grips.
I clamped it in the spring compressor for lack of any other good idea. I couldn’t clamp around the frame as it lifts off when the pins are removed – the same pins that retain the end cap.
I then started removing pins, starting with the middle ones and ending at the one that retains the end cap. Notice the clips…
Backing off the tension. If I were to do it again I would first remove the read sight and I would carve a dedicated block to mate the profile of the end cap. But this works. The spring is under more tension than I would feel comfortable dealing with without a compressor.
I must have attention deficit disorder as these pics were the next on my camera. Nothing too exciting about it, just need to pay attention to the handedness of the cocking arm when reinstalling.
Moderately long spring in ok shape.
I swear this pistol was produced by the e-clip lobby. As best I can tell the clip functions like a washer allowing the spring to rotate against the spring guide.
A good condition seal.
The rear sight is well engineered and integral to the cap.
More to come…
Very informative
