Hi there! I am new to the forum.

I have a barely used Model 25. Shot it yesterday and it functions well. Can someone help me with the proper procedure for taking the gun down so I can clean it? At the moment, the gun is unloaded and the action is open.

Should the gun be cocked before separating the two halves? I had someone show me how to do this 10 years ago, but I have forgotten what to do. Also, at the time, I had a problem getting the gun back together. The person showed me what was wrong. It was something simple though. I wish I had made some notes!

Mike
