Video's
of takedown and reassembly
|
This is an
attempt to show one way at least for dealing
with takedown and reassembly of the R9. It
is what works for me but I do realize that
it will not suit everyone.
These videos are a first attempt really and
I hope over time to try and shoot further
ones, more biased toward the use of tricks
and tools. There are two versions of each
- the smaller file being to assist with folks
on dial-up, and the larger file being slightly
better for resolution - although as the files
are heavily compressed anyways, they are not
as clear as I would like. Right click on the
link of choice and save the file to disk.
Oh and should anyone find the accent odd -
I was born and raised in England!!
Please note!
- prior to my updating this material, please
check out the latest
manual pages on disassembly and lube
- things are different with lubrication.
So, where I might refer to grease we now are
talking good quality oil. |

Here we
see the use of a simple ordinary chopstick,
as a device to hold open the slide while
removing cross pin. Other methods have
been used using custom made ''stop-sticks''
- but it really does not matter too much
as long as what is used has the desired
result!
Overall hopefully the commentary within
the clip explains what is going on.

This
process is certainly the hardest part
of dealing with the gun - equally it
is harder to portray well with video.
I make use here of my reasonable hand
strength, to hold open the slide for
short spells while carrying out insertion
of the pin - other methods may need
devised by some.
The insertion of the recoil assembly
is another stage where sometimes the
use of channel lock pliers may be needed.
To marginally facilitate my method shown,
I suggest a simple
smoothing process.
