Taking these apart for the first or fifth time is difficult even with the takedown instructions, but it will get easier in time, I get alot of lever guns in for cleanings, and at $55.00 a pop I would recommend you learn on cleaning your own!
If you can read firearm diagrams they are avilable all over the web, if not I would recommend you purchase FIREARMS DISASSEMBLY & REASSEMBLY by J.B. WOOD, Brownells carries theses books or you can go to the AMERICAN GUNSMITHING INS. and purchase an armorer`s course for $30.00 or so, either way you will obtain the knowledge to care for your weapon.
