Well folks,

As above. Just done my first 1892 disassembly and reassembly.

Now I am something of a fan of John Moses Brownings designs. I have / had a few over the years - SA-22, Auto 5, Colt Woodsman, 1892 lever action.

But sometimes I feel the man was a sadist. A genius, sure, but the man must have had something of a sadistic streak in him...

Still, everything now much cleaner and hopefully fewer light strikes.

Scumbag: The 1892 can be a bit daunting, the first time you disassemble/reassemble it. Once you understand how everything fits together...it really isn't all that hard. The trick is to stay calm during the process, and resist the urge to hurl pieces of gun all over the room. If you want a real exercise in patience, try working on an 1886.

You have no idea how close the hurling came to occurring....

And yes, when I realised the trick, all went back together fine.
