How to take apart a gun


Question
QUESTION: I am tring to take apart an Astra mod 1915 32 Auto.  I want to check the fireing pin, springs and clean it.

ANSWER: Hi Brent.

See if this works for you:

1- Remove the magazine and clear the chamber.

2- Depress the barrel bushing with the lip of the magazine floorplate and turn the bushing lock 1/4 turn.

3- Carefully ease the bushing and lock off the slide, and remove the recoil spring.

4- Draw the slide fully to the rear, then move it forward slightly and engage the manual safety.

5- Rotate the barrel counterclockwise (as you face the front of the gun) to the limit of its movement.

6- Release the safety and draw the slide and barrel off the frame.

QUESTION: That is a neat site about the Astras.  I don't seam to a model that fits that description.  The flat end of the magazine does fit into the slot in the guide rod, but there is no bushing to remove.  Thanks Again.

Answer
Follow-up:

It is difficult to say for sure without examining your gun in person but the following link will take you to a book which you can view online for free. Look in the table of contents for the Astra models then go to those pages in the book. Those pistols may not be the same as yours but one of the disassembly methods shown will probably work for your gun. Good luck!
