****I know, I know. It's not a Model 39-0. I just needed to distinguish it from the 39-2 posts.****
Need to completely disassemble a S&W Model 39. Not a -2. It's a nice four-digit serial number, non-"Pre-39" model stamped "Mod 39". Has the original single-piece, unpinned, wide extractor. Probably from about 1957.
The thing is, all the references i can find show how to take apart the 39-2, which has a significantly different slide disassembly.
Have it field-stripped of course, but i want a complete disassembly for cleaning/lubing, etc. before it disappears into the collection.
Can anyone point me to a reference for completely disassembling this particular model?
Thanks in advance.
