Go ahead. Laugh at me. The newbie who thought he was smarter than he actually was.
I bought my 910 used and easily learned how to field strip and clean.
After a few range trips I decided to give it a good clean and started taking it all apart. (Insert chorus of laughter)
So I set aside the slide and barrel and began with the frame.
I set down an old white t-shirt and began taking parts off.
I set them down in the order I took them off and was done with removal in about 15 minutes.
Some things to keep in mind as you read...
1. I have only owned the gun for 5-6 months.
2. I have only field stripped the gun 8-10 times.
3. Being a typical male, I didn't read the manual when taking things apart.
With everything stripped, I gave the frame and individual parts a good bit of elbow grease and old mil-spec rifle bore cleaner. (It's the only thing I have right now and it works, so shut it.)
It was extremely dirty (probably only field-stripped to clean it before selling), and it took a few minutes to clean out all the nooks and crannies.
Once I got it decently clean, I began the task of putting everything back together. (Insert loud and slightly obnoxious laughter here.)
I figured out how to reinstall the trigger assembly and began work on the hammer/disconnect/sear/safety levers assembly.
And that's when I knew, I'd ****'d up.
"It is always easier to take things apart than it is to put them back together"
-probably Confucius as he was taking apart a SW910.
I have three steel safety levers and the hammer assembly that are pinned together. A side plate connects that pin to the sear pin, and somewhere in there the disconnect is supposed to get installed in the gun.
If anyone has some knowledge they'd like to share, I'm all ears.
Otherwise it's off to my Gander Mtn buddy to buy (bribe) him some reloading stock, so that he can make the gun work again.
