There are elements in total takedown that require, in many cases, the special tools and skills of the gunsmith. The very knowledgeable amateur may be able to detail-strip certain guns to the last pin, spring and screw, but some mechanical aptitude is necessary. This book is designed for both the average gun person and the professional. While it covers routine field-stripping, it also covers complete takedown and reassembly.

For simple takedown, the tools needed will seldom be more than screwdrivers of the proper size. Complete takedown will often require several tools, some of which are not available at the corner hardware store. For this reason, I am including a section on tools, as well as a list of sources for some of the specialized items.

There are a few general rules to be observed in the takedown of any gun. An occasional rap with a plastic mallet may be necessary to free a tight assembly, but for the most part, no force should be used. Never pry; always wear safety glasses as compressed springs can be dangerous. Never take a gun down outdoors, over tall grass, or indoors over a shag carpet. Read the instructions through, at least once, before you begin.
