Any other iver johnson model 1owners?

[Daniel Keefe]

Anyone else own a nice condition iver johnson model 1? Hammerless...

I have found some disassembly videos and I have taken it apart before but not fully.

Right now I want to clean under the... uh. Hammer guard? Hammer cover? Whatever you call the price of metal covering the hammer to make it hammerless.

I also want to get into the trigger mechanism. To clean there too.

I'm really nervous about using the tool to punch the pins out I feel as though I will mess it up but I know I need to get in there to clean it.

The dissasssmbly videos I have found are complete disassembly, and they dont really get to the hammer until the end. I've removed the barrel before, the grips and even the screw in the frame for the hammer. Cleaned it all up with ballistol. Made it better than ever.

I'm wondering, i know I will have to remove the pins to get in there. But can I do just that without disassembly of everything else? I'm hoping another owner here has cleaned under the hammerless cover and has knowledge to share.

I guess I don't understand. Are you worried about driving pins? If so, why?

I'll put up some pictures. I'm wondering if I can remove just the pins without disassembling everything else. Each video i saw they got to that near the end so they had everything else removed.

And I wanted to know if anyone had found a way to throughly clean under the cover without removing it. I just feel like if I remove the pins I'll never be able to get them back in.

^ sorry forgot to reply

Yes, you can drive out the pins and remove the cover without disassembling the gun. I've done so on mine.

Thanks.

I'm going to have to give it a try. I went a little crazy with these antique revolvers being that they are so cool and cheap and I have quite a collection now. So I may aswell learn to correctly care for them.

Daniel Keefe, do you have the Bill Goforth book about Iver Johnson firearms? You might find it to your liking, and it's reasonably priced. I got mine new on Ebay from the current publisher.

I'm going to have to get it. I'm waiting in the carcano book that was suggested to me because amazon is slow shipping I guess
Hooray for books!

What are the names of the pins for the hammerless cover. Just took a look and somehow kne of the pins seems broken inside like it fell in. I dont believe it was like that before.
