OMC "Back Up"
- Thread starter smatte
- Start date
Actually, OMC is one of the many names used by the company that is most commonly known as Arcadia Machine and Tool, or AMT. They were known as OMC or TDE in their earlier years.
It has been many years since I sold my AMT single-action BackUp, so I am afraid I no longer recall the field-strip instructions. I think you had to drive out a roll pin and then tap out the breechblock from the bottom of the magazine well, but I could be mistaken. Try to Google for 'AMT Backup disassembly' or something like that.

Mill Creek - Thanks! - that's extremely helpful - I see the pins you're talking about - and now that I understand what they are, I'll try driving them out.
Snub 342 - thanks for the vote of confidence. I need all the help I can get, and you've both been very nice about it.

If you go to this link: http://stevespages.com/page7b.htm and click on 'AMT Backup', you will download a PDF of the owner's manual for the .380 DAO Backup. IIRC, and that is a big if, the double action and the single action were very similar, if not almost identical, in fieldstripping.
