The pictures of the pistol in parts scared me.
I love my 1917 French Army ‘07 (identifiable
by the lanyard ring) but, I hate breaking it
down because it can be a bear to
reassemble, and some of the parts are
very delicate and not so easy to replace.
?
Field strip is not too tough and unlikely to damage parts. IIRC lock the slide back, twist off the bolt, release the slide forward and off.
I think that was a Savage and Ortgies marketing play; no screws to dissemble.
