ABAS Major inf wanted

[ccdjg]

If someone would be kind enough to send me some Abas disassembly/assembly instructions, I'll put them in the gallery.

I don't have any detailed written instructions Danny, but I have disassembled a few of these and can give one or two words of advice:

1. You start by removing the two grub screws in the muzzle cap. This enables the cocking lever pivot pin to be tapped out and the front sight to be unscrewed.
2. With these out of the way, the muzzle cap can be unscrewed. The gun is then straightforward to strip in the usual way.

Two cautions:

1. The muzzle cap has quite a fine thread, so you have to be extra cautious that you don't cross it when replacing it under the pressure of the spring.
2. When removing the loading tap, be aware that there is a spring loaded steel ball underneath the tap lever, which can fly out and get lost if you are not expecting it.

Cheers,
John

I have ABAS Major pistol .177 that I have had since mid 80's and dug it out again. Where would I find serial number? It's got a smooth bakelite handle grip. Please

You should find it on the back of the gun, stamped on the metal between the two grips.
