heh...thanks for the help...but I actually figured it out myself. I just hadn't had time to post back here again yet. Although I was happy I got it, I was pissed at how easily it came unstuck. :banghead:
What actually was the problem...was I had sucessfully taken it apart. The hardest part about that is popping the barrel off the grip. But when it came to putting it back together, I got to the second to last step...and goofed. I got the pin to go back through the bolt, and protrude out the top. I didn't however, make sure the hammer strut was nestled into the divit. So, when I swung the mainspring housing back into the grip, it wasn't springy like it's supposed to be. I didn't notice this however....I checked the bolt, and it only came out so far. So, I go to pull the mainspring housing back out (to try it again..correctly), and I can't swing the housing away from the grip! I was pulling and prying on it with a key, my fingers, etc...and it wouldn't budge! That was when I posted. I came back down, picked it up, and started playing with it again. I held it upside down, hanging by the trigger-guard, and squeezed the trigger, and the damn MS housing came right out! (with a slight pull) I was both happy....and pissed. So I took the damn thing apart, and put it back together, about 3 more times....making SURE to do it correctly.
yzguy: ya know, i looked up that page...and it wasn't a bit of help. It told me what to do, but not how to do it.
Not only that, but I had already TRIED pulling the trigger, and it hadn't made a lick of difference.
Hope it's easier to shoot than it is to strip.
