Jim, thanks for the warning. I studied up quite a bit on the dis-assembly of these. I ended up taking it all the way down to the bare frame for clean and inspection. I lightly oiled the parts and re-assembled without a hitch. I'm quite taken by the engineering, quite fascinating really. But then again my other favorite is my Savage Model 1907 in .32. I can only imagine what the modern day cost of manufacturing this little gem would be. Certainly not financially viable in today's market.
