Break down of a colt 1903 32 caliber pistol?

Answer 1

Please note there are at least 4 different models of this pistol. 2 of the early models used a barrel bushing, and takedown is a bit different. For the ones with no bushing- remove magazine, draw slide to rear, check chamber to insure is empty. On the RIGHT side of frame/slide towards the muzzle is a vertical line, and an arrow. Draw slide to rear until arrow lines up with the line. While holding them aligned, rotate the barrel until it stops. Slide and barrel can now be slid forward off the frame. Then turn barrel back to remove from frame. DO NOT suggest any disassembly beyond that point, or you will learn several new curse words.
