1929 M17, a repeat of an earlier post. You can tell I really don't want to go back out and mow, can't you? I didn't get any photography of any of the M12s or M520s I've dissembled. The M12s are fairly common, so I didn't think of it. The 520 would have been a good one. |

| I used to routinely clean my dad's guns, one at a time, when I visited him. Cleaning consisted of dismantling completely- every spring, every pin, every screw. Then soaking in Hoppes 9, wipe, oil lightly, wipe; reassemble. About the first two or three my dad would watch in amazement, but then he asked if I had ever considered gunsmithing as a profession. At the time Carter was president and I didn't see a great future in fixing things that were being outlawed. Guess I should have had more faith in the people- but then I look at how things are going and maybe I was just ahead of my time. (The guns were A5s and assorted Remingtons). |

| I've never owned an A5 (I take that back, I did own a Model 11 Remington in 16 for just a little bit), but I'll bet they're a handful to dissemble and clean properly. Of the guns I have fully dissembled and cleaned, the Model 31 Remington was the most challenging to re-assemble. |

I'd have to check out cost for my local gunsmith to re-assemble.  |

are simple to break into components.
Just did a Light weight 12ga A5 for complete detail as my daughter wanted "Something" for her house. Clean and re-lubed in short time, only problem was getting the carrier in right order for re-assembly.
M37 is a "pussy-cat" for take-down and re-assembly. |

870s are very easy. Not the level of quality you see on the inside of pre-war guns, but well-designed and well-executed. Almost indestructable. This one's a July of 1959 in 16.
