I have never taken apart the gun but looked at some Youtubes on cleaning them. It looked a little tricky and was not sure I wanted to try it with out something printed in front of me. The local gunsmith wanted $100 which I though was a little crazy.

2 question:
How hard is it not to take apart but put back together
Any idea where to get something showing how to take the gun apart and put it back together

Thanks,

Hi,

I bought this manual, I found it very easy to understand and follow:

Let me know if you get it, and if you need any help.

I am currently finishing cleaning one right now, a 32 Win Spl 94 with deer engraving.

"How hard is it not to take apart but put back together"

Hi,

I found it easy, except for the carrier, which is a bit tricky, but with patience it goes in just fine, without much force. The spring which makes it go up and down is the one that makes it tricky to get back in, as the spring has to be installed before the carrier. The carrier is the steel part which brings a new round from the magazine up into the chamber.
