M9 Guide

Masada

Have to do this in 4 posts coz theres a limit on the amount of pics that you can put in one post,

Someone was asking about taking pics when i have this thing striped down so i thought id do a little guide.,






The slide underside,

You have to remove this little screw,



You have to lift this from the back, theres 2 springs under it so just be careful they dont fly out when ya lift it,

Then remove this spring by compressing it and turning it a little,

Then push the barrell forward in the slide.,

Then lift this out,

Then you can remove the barrell by sliding if backwards and out,
Be careful with this part, theres a spring holding this in,

Thats the slide all done and back together,




Now for the frame of the pistol,

Remove the 2 screws in the handle of the pistol so you can take the grip off,

Then you need to remove the slide lock, dont loose the spring thats on the inside or the slide wont lock back when the mag is empty,

This is the spring,


Now turn this catch to point upward so that it can pe removed from the frame, there will be another part that will come out of the other side when you do this, its pretty simple,

These are what lock the slide onto the pistol frame,

Now remove the other hand grip on the other side,

Be careful not to loose the spring thats under the trigger arm and take note from the pic how it should be fitted,


You can remove the mag release now, this is switchable for left and right handed people as I found out from people on here,;).,

Then you can remove the trigger arm,



Now you need to remove these pins that hold everything together,


Then you can remove the hammer spring, this is under pressure so just be careful that it doesnt fly out,

Then remove this screw from the frame,


Now the frame inside the pistol should slide up and out,


Be careful this spring doesnt pop out,

These 4 screws hold the frame together,

The hammer,

My homemade trigger spring,;)

Masada

All the parts,


And as if by magic its back together again.,:D


Hope this is comes in handy.,;)
