Interarms Star Gauge 410 SXS Assembly

[meadowmuffin3]

I have completely disassembled this shotgun and am now faced with the task of re-assembly. Can anyone direct me to a website that has an exploded view of the assembly of this firearm? Or can anyone help me with the following points?

1. I am uncertain of the positioning of the two "V" springs. The springs have a "lip" on the shorter end. It appears that this lip should be positioned in a groove in the hammer. However when positioned in this manner, it is impossible to position the hammer so that hole in the hammer aligns with the hole for the pin that runs the width of the receiver, without the use of significant pressure that would require clamps or a special tool.
2. The little springs that fit into the arms that connect to the triggers (two of them) are of different lengths. How do I determine which spring fits on which arm. The pins that fit into the spring receptacle are the same size.

I could just kick myself for doing this!!!!!

fist question has to be..why did you take it apart in the first place?

Please don't ask such embarassing questions. My humiliation is quite extensive as it is.


Actually do you remember way back when in your childhood that you just had to see what the inside looked like and how it worked?? I'm apparently entering my second childhood. The truth be known, it was in terrible shape on the outside insofar as crud was concerned and had been neglected by the owner for years. I thought it would need an internal cleaning---- wrong!!

You sir, need a gunsmith. SxS shotguns can be a bear to get back together, even when you know what to do. Learn from your mistake, and save yourself the headache, and damage to the gun.....see a 'smith.....

That's what I have concluded. But thought I would try the forums first.

Just a hint for next time ( yes it will happen again ) -like smoking
or beer
I have a new camera with a very good macro on it and take lots
of close up pictures before and during strip down, handy as hell
for all those little springs and links
