Crosman Remington 1875 Stripdown

Hi all ... since im finding it difficult to get any actual shooting in recently i decided to have a look how difficult the Remington would be to take apart and put back together ... mainly because im still wanting to get rid of the nickel plating and blu it ...
I took a bunch of photos and thought i would post them , maybe it might be of use to some of the guys on here.
As ive said many times im no academic and photos were taken on my phone so please forgive any mistakes .



After screws are removed the right grip panel pulls off



While pushing in the knurled screw pull the cylinder rod toward the fron and hold it as it is spring loaded, then remove the cylinder


Remove the left frame plate screws . Note position of black screw and long screw


Left frame plate may require a bit of levering to get it off








CAUTION !! When left frame plate is removed the hammer spring and the cylinder rod retainer and spring may fall out  








Hammer should just pull off


Trigger spring is quite strong so may have to lever it off to remove the trigger





Safety switch should just pull out





To remove the cylinder stop pull out the pin that it pivots on and its then good to remove








CAUTION !!   The valve assembly holds in the loading gate plus a tiny spring and ball bearing... once the valve is removed the loading gate WILL fall out along
with the spring and ball bearing




















To remove the cylinder rod retainer and spring push it through from the right side 























Make sure you knock out the barrel retaining pin from left side

To remove the cylinder rod ... wiggle the outer barrel out slightly to give you a small gap ... the rod should come out as its spring loaded





CAUTION !!!  The forcing cone may come off when you pull out the outer barrel
