Funny. I learned to take one apart and put it back together easily.
When one of our employees brought one he bought to work to show it off , I immediately disassembled it and challenged him to put it back together.
hours later and lots of cussing, he could not get it together. Then I took it from him, turned my back and then turned around with it assembled. He reached for it, I turned around and disassembled it, and handed it back to him.
This went on for several hours before he finally learned the secret.
It can be done.
***I bought it for only $160 back in 1983***
I bought my first one for $45.00 new back in 1968. ;-D Wish I still had it.
If you want a to throw a fit, try to reassemble a .22 BROWNING CHALLENGER! It is a booger!

Unless you want access to Obama’s Birth Certificate, College Transcripts or Draft Card.
***Try a Remington Nylon 66 sometime.***
Just spray it with WD-40! That is all I do!
I didn’t see the AK-15 on the list—that’s the one Bill O’Reilly is so concerned about.
“Doesn’t matter, if you take apart your Ruger Mark II, you’ll have to take it to the gunsmith to put back together. ;)”
I have the Ruger 22/45 Lite. I’ve never sworn so much in so little time in my life. I told my husband that I ran out of cuss words. Great fun to shoot, but a real b!tch to put back together. So, off I go to the place where I got it. It turns out that they make a modification kit where after installed, you just have to unscrew one piece to take the slide off. “Great”, says I. I took it home and now I can’t get the screw to re-thread. Will go back on Thursday, I think.
Keep in mind that downloading manuals from this site will provide a ready database of which firearms you likely possess (by IP address). I thought of that too late. Oh, well, none of mine are on any confiscation lists, AFAIK. I lost them earlier in a tragic boating accident anyway and am downloading the manuals purely for the sake of reminiscing.
Download them all! haha
There’s an idea!
I do get errors on some of them but re-downloading generally pulls them down.
The guy running this is probably paying some pretty hefty bandwidth fees — I see he accepts donations.
Right after I bought my first AR-15 I took the pistol grip off to replace with a more ergonomic grip.
I forgot to capture the tiny safety detent spring that goes in the top of the grip and it shot across my workshop never to be found.
Had to wait three days to get a new spring from Brownells for 85 cents.
Wow great resource...thanks! I had an old Bersa 380 that I bought off a friend years ago and never had a manual for it until now...thanks!
Yep.
In my opinion, it’s that simplicity that makes them an engineering marvel.
Install a free program like CyberGhost or Anchor VPN
Then when you download anybody watching will think you are in Hamburg or Ankara
CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!
Been trying to find a manual for my 40 year old Remington 742 semi-auto 30-06, and now I have one! Remington doesn’t have them anymore.....
God bless you!
If you bought it in the ‘70s it would be a Mark I. I have never had any issue with detail stripping, cleaning and reassembly. I guess the Mark II, introduced in 1982, has a few extra kinks that seem to cause problems.
Saved on my hard drive!
Thank You for the link!
My retirement has been working on guns for friends and family.
Mosins started my milsurp mania.
I knew there was a reason I gravitate towards Revolvers...
