Hi all. Finally got the time to take down and shot photos of my first carbine. Came apart easy and was pretty clean inside, just a little carbon fouling. Recoil spring is about 10.25 inches. All...

I should get have looked at the photos closer, a long punch will not work. Looks like trigger assembly needs to fit down into the trigger housing. My bad. Gork
