Disassembly of a rolling block rifle's action is
nearly as easy as loading and firing it:
- Cock the hammer
- Remove the pivot pin retainer cross piece and screw
- Gently tap out the breechblock pivot pin (the one that's closest to the barrel)
- Pull out the breechblock
- While holding the hammer, pull the trigger and gently ease the hammer forward, into the area vacated by the breechblock
- Remove the hammer pivot pin
- Remove the hammer
Your rolling block's action has been disassembled! Not a whole lot of parts, are there? Please don't lose any of them.
