Hi, Driftwood,
Maybe it's easy to you, but IMHO, the 1899 is not that easy to work on. The trigger return spring is a bit of a bear and requires a trick or two to get back in place. Plus areas like the hand spring and lever, and the cylinder stop present their own problems. I have never had to take the cylinder stop apart, for which I am glad, because the tiny parts would be a bear to reassemble, even with tweezers.
