Detailed assembly/disassembly. TAKING REQUESTS!

[geronimojoe85]

That's right boys and girls, I'm taking requests.

If you want to see any particular firearm done with a brief history post it here.

The way I look at this, I'm going to keep doing these threads, I might as well start with what you guys want to see.
Requests will be handled in no particular order. Rest assured, if I see it and it makes it into the "Current Requests" section below, it is on my agenda and will be completed.

I started a blog: Big JoeSki's blog

I'm not trying to take traffic away from INGO or anything like that, my intention with the blog is to diversify, reach other audiences and have a backup should anything happen to my posts here.

Cimarron 1866 Yellowboy. Rifles need love too.

I do not currently have one of those, but I'll check around.
I'll add it to the current requests when I get one lined up.

I have one and info seems to be very scarce. Unless you want to re-enforce the loading gate tab.

The Ruger Mark III .22 can be difficult.

Good one, can do.

 

[TLHelmer]

That would be great! Thanks!

Lots of information developed over the last 15 years resides here for "cowboy era" firearms.

Nagant revolver
Savage model 1905

Tanfaglio Witness .45acp

Colt Pocket Hammerless 1903/1908

I'm REALLY looking forward to this one.

 

[phatgemi]

Yep, there are lots of videos out there on the ruger but to actually do one is an adventure. A very tough nut to crack.

 

[O'Shark]

There are lots of how-to videos on 1911 disassembly but it would be nice to have one here since someone seems to get a new one every week. I'd like to see a series on the CZ-75B(BD) pistols. It would be great if you did a 3rd gen S&W series some day too.

Thanks!

Winchester 1897 probably one of the biggest PITA's I have ever taken all the way down.

Luckily you didn't have to do that to mine!

OP: the 1911 platform gets a lot of love here. Why not a thread about a detail strip / rebuild?

Or the HiPower?

Geronimojoe85, I do believe you have found your niche.

If you guys can wait long enough I have a high power clone that needs some internal work, so I could cover that one.

I can help with the 1911... How about any of the H&R rifles/shotguns. Those things are a *****, but are pretty popular. Also, after last night, I can help with the mossberg pump trigger group (which seems to be an equally pain in the ass)

 

[IndyGunworks]

If you are going to do the trigger group you may as well do the whole gun.

 

[M67]

How about a Browning Auto 5? I like taking them apart, but in my experience, people don't know how to take them apart so when the guts get cleaned you're taking off 50-60 year old original grease and crud and they're wondering why the gun is acting sluggish

 

[geronimojoe85]

Ok, I've kept a list of the requested so far.
I will add them to the OP as they become available to me.
Honestly some I may not get to for a while, but I've already got a few more in the works.

First up will be the Marlin model 60 and S&W revolvers. After Christmas I will have more guns on the current requests list.
