WARNING!
Handling ammunition and cleaning
firearms results in exposure to lead and other
substances that could pose health risks. Always
wash your hands and face after firing your pistol,
disassembling it or after cleaning it.
Disassembly:
WARNING! You should wear eye protection, such as
shooting glasses or goggles when disas-
sembling and reassembling your pistol to
protect your eyes from tensioned parts,
such as springs, that could become dis-
lodged during the process.
The Century Czech Model 70 pistol may be disassembled into
three major components - slide, magazine and frame.
1. To disassemble the pistol, first ensure it is unloaded by removing
the magazine and then pulling back the slide and visually checking
that there is no ammunition in the chamber.
2. Put the safety lever in its lower position. Decocok the hammer.
3. Press in the disassembly button (located on the right side of the
frame (See Illustration #6) while retracting the slide all the way rear-
ward. Raise the rear part of the slide off the rails and then slowly
move it forward and off the frame allowing the recoil spring to decom-
press. Note: This operation should be done carefully to avoid allowing
the recoil spring to fly loose.
4. Remove the recoil spring from the barrel.
No further disassembly is needed.
Clean the gun as per the instructions provided on page 7 of this
manual. Note, the barrel is fixed in position and may be readily
cleaned without removal. Before re-assembly, lightly oil the internal
parts.
Re-assembly:
1. Place the recoil spring back on the barrel assembly.
2. Place the slide assembly on the frame, aligning the lugs and and assembly slots. Press and hold in the disassembly
button while applying downward pressure and move the slide to the rear until it snaps into place on the frame.
3. Check the slide’s movement on the frame to ensure it is properly aligned by moving it back and forth several times.
4. Reinstall the magazine.
5. Check the pistol’s function once again by operating the safety lever and cycling the slide several times.
It is advisable not to dry fire this pistol (allowing the hammer to fall on an empty chamber), as this may cause the firing
pin to break.
STORAGE
When puting your pistol away for storage, it should be thoroughly cleaned and lightly lubricated. Outside surfaces should be wiped
with a light coat of good quality gun oil. CHECK TO ENSURE YOUR FIREARM IS UNLOADED BEFORE PUTTING IT AWAY FOR
STORAGE BY VISUALLY EXAMINING BOTH ITS CHAMBER AND MAGAZINE. When the firearm is to be reused, remove
all
excess
lubrication before firing. Make certain that the bore (inside of barrel) is dry and free of obstructions before firing.
