A little rifle of the same size as Webley jaguar,junior,ranger, Diana 22, 23 and Weihrauch Hw 25 etc.
I did not remove the sights but took care not to damage the rearsight when stripping the gun.
Undo the front stock screw on the under side of the stock and also the front trigger guard screw, which is the rear stock screw. The action should lift out of the stock. There is a pin in the bracket that the front stock screw goes into. The cocking arm rubs on this pin and you need to remove the pin before you remove the barrel. These can be absolute swines on Bsf's but this one was ok. Undo the tiny barrel pivot lock screw and then the barrel pivot screw and remove the barrel and cocking arm from the cylinder. As the cocking arm has rivets I left it on the breech block. If you want to remove the barrel plunger and spring, then tap out the small pin that holds it in the breech block. I used a small piece of wood to push against the plunger and pushed the pin out with a punch. You can clean and lube this now and replace it back in the breech block.
The cylinder has a knurled end cap on the end and you will see a trigger adjuster screw poking through it. The cap is not threaded but needed a good tap with a small block of wood to shift it as it was very tight. You can remove the trigger adjusting screw now as well.Unhook the trigger spring off the small tang at the back of it and remove the spring. (The other end locates on a pip on the inside of the trigger). You can now tap out the trigger pivot screw and remove the trigger. The pivot screw is the front one of the 2 pins in the cylinder. On this gun, the trigger was difficult to remove because someone had bent the steel a little and burred the outside of the pin hole. I gripped as much of the trigger as I could in soft jaws of a vice and gently moved the cylinder to get it out. I then cleaned up the damage and tapped it back to shape with a small hammer and a bit of flat bar. You can now tap out the rear cylinder pin with the right sized punch. The mainspring is under a fair bit of tension so once the pin moved a bit I put the back of the cylinder onto a bit of wood and pressed down to take the tension as I pushed the pin out. Slowly release tension and the trigger housing,guide and mainspring should come out. The piston was a little stiff coming out and needed some gentle persuasion with levering and tapping. The piston washer is leather and held by a small screw. The buffer washer appeared to be fibre. I removed these to clean the rest of the bits up but did not fit new ones as they were in good condition.Clean all your bits up and go to part 2.
