Dear friends,
I have scoured cyberspace (and whatever actual books I could lay my hands on) and cannot find any instructions for field stripping the Harrington & Richardson .25 Self-Loading pistol.
At one point, I found brief instructions for taking down the .32 version, which went as follows:
1) With the striker in fired position and the magazine removed, pull down the front of the trigger guard until the “step” can be seen, and hold it there.
2) Move the slide and barrel off the frame toward the front. As it clears its track, the barrel will be released for removal.
Thinking that the procedure would likely be the same for the .25, I attempted to field strip my H&R .25 this way and failed. The problem was that the front of the trigger guard would not budge at all. It seemed rock solid and, having great respect for these old guns, I did not want to apply excessive force.
Please help me out - does someone know how to field strip the H&R Self-Loading .25?
