How do you disassemble squires bingham model 16 for cleaning?

Answer 1

to disabemble remove bolt from bottom of stock near the slot to insert the magazine, pull the upper receiver off the stock, at the back you will find a knob there should be a set screw keeping it from turning, use a alen wrench to remove set screw, twist the knob till it comes off, be careful when you get to the end of it will try to spring out. then slide bolt back to the catch if you work it just right the little catch lever will just pull out and the rest of the bolt slides out of the back of the gun, when re-inserting the bolt the hammer catch will give you alot of trouble so be careful, be gentle and dont force anything, with a given amount time and patients it will go back into place, but seriously if you can avoid it i recomend not opening this gun up unless your mechanically inclined, it is a really sloppy fit for parts.
