Panther? RO72 strip (pt1)
Here we have the RO72. Undo the screw on the foresight and the two on the rearsight (you will have to remove elevation wheel to get at the rear one and dont lose the little post it pushes against) and remove sights and put somewhere safe. To remove the grips there are two screws on either side parallel to the cylinder and a larger and smaller one in the pistol grips (one locates in the other).Lift the action out and remove the endcap. You can remove the cocking arm pivot pins at either end of the cocking arm and remove the cocking arm.( the 2nd pin goes through a slot in the trigger housing and connects to a slider which has a ball bearing on it).Undo the nut on the RHS of the breech jaws with a forked screwdriver or similar and undo the barrel pivot and remove. If you want to change the breech seal do it now. If you want to grease the barrel plunger and spring, you will have to remove the small pin in the block that holds them. I would do it now and replace in the block. There are 2 pins near the middle of the trigger housing----if you knock these out you can remove the trigger. Slide out the cocking slider.The remaining pin at the rear of the housing holds the sear. Watch out for the hairpin spring that goes on the sear and locates on the out side of the housing, when you remove the sear. Go to pt2
