I have a very old Accu-Tek AT-380 (not the model II) that I've had since I was a cop couple decades ago. Shot it a couple boxes full, liked it but not crazy about it, so it was locked away in my vault. I've since "re-discovered" it and shot a few more boxes of Fiochi .380FMJ through it. Shoots nice, no stove pipes and a nice little Walther PPK copy.
Now it's time to strip and clean it down, BUT I can't get the slide off the frame as described in the manual which says: "Remove the trigger guard screw, then remove the trigger guard. fully retract the
slide, lift up and move forward off the frame."
I have yanked, pulled, jiggled, partially retracted and fully retracted the slide, hard medium and softly. The slide will NOT "lift up" at all to slide off the frame, period.
Either they left something out of the instructions or there's some trick I'm not seeing or feeling as I retract the slide.
Anyone had experience with this particular Accu-Tek model .380??
