This is a specialized, finely fitted mechanism;
and you may mar it for life by an attempt to
remove the inner mechanism. It is unneces-
sary, and may do damage to the inner mecha-
nism, to disassemble it for routine cleaning
and oiling. Of course, misfortunes (such as
dropping your gun in water) require appro-
priate attention, and in such circumstances
we recommend you immediately take your
gun to a competent gunsmith.
