Some time ago I aquired a .380 cal automatic. I would like to get information on how to take it apart for cleaning. The only information I have on the gun is whats on the barrel. HUSQVARNA VAPENFARBRIKS AKTIEBOLAG cal 380

You've got a Browning 1903 pistol, adopted by the Swedish military in 1907 as the "M07"; Though they were originally chambered in 9mm Browning Long, most of them were re-barreled to 380 Auto for import. These pistols take down the same way most other Browning "pocket" designs do. First, take the magazine out and rack the slide several times. Second, make sure the chamber and pistol is entirely empty. Third and fourth, repeat step Two. Fifth, hold the slide to the rear while you press up on the safety/slide stop until it locks into the forward notch for it on the left side of the slide. Sixth, twist the exposed barrel until it comes loose from the frame lugs, when you should be able to feel it come forward, and take it out the front of the slide. Seventh, control the slide, and press down on the slide stop so you can ease the slide off the front of the frame. Clean, and reassemble in the reverse order. Do a search for "Browning 1903 disassembly" if you get stuck.
