The Great Model 8 & 81

Rifle Disassembly

This is good video tutorial for the disassembly of the Model 8 or 81. In most cases a complete disassembly such as this is not necessary unless there is a mechanical failure or your rifle is extremely dirty.  As with any firearm, if you are uncertain contact a reputable gunsmith who has experience with the Model 8 & 81 such as the one below.

Thank you to Jim Green for the use of your video.
