Tech help needed- Winchester Mod. 88 lever-action

[english kanigit]

Fellas, I need some gun help. The range I work at has a gun that I can't figger out how to disassemble it.

It is:
Winchester, Model 88, lever-action, .308, box magazine fed.

None of our tech books have disassembly instructions and my google-fu is weak.
I need help.
Does anyone know how to get this piece apart?

Apart is not hard, however back together is a whole new ball game. You need to make re-assembly slaves to put it back together.
un parts has a blowup in the catalog.

IMHO clean it out without disassembly with solvents and air pressure. Last one I blued took many hrs figuring out how to get it back together, finally made the slave pins and they worked, with out them it will never go back together.

YEah

Disassembly is easy.
Reassembly hah?
Slave pins are a must as stated above. I used wooden dowels.

"This 8 1/2 x 11" manual is 56 pages of step by step instructions on how to take the Winchester model 88 rifle apart and reassemble. It is a very good reprint that was drawn by a Winchester employee and gunsmith, A.A. Arnold, in 1958. It also includes trouble shooting and service notes. The instructions are easy to understand for the gunsmith or the gun owner."
