Contender DIsassembly

[timkelley]

Does anyone know of a website having assembly/disassembly instructions for a T C Contender. I went to take mine apart for the first time in about 25 years and found I have forgotten how.:wink:

I have an exploded view if that helps ? You can PM me your email and I will send it to you ! Apart is easy , together can be a little different . If I can do it anybody can !!!

The trigger assembly is a 3/32 pin punch, not 1/8", since it is inside a roll pin. It's easy if you remove the screw at the rear first.

You might find the info here.

Thanx Guys, I will wait a while before I just jump in. When younger (like 30 years) I'd just tear it apart but now I am a bit more cautious.

The Bellm site may point you to diassembly instructioinis, but be cautious about the "advice" you get there. Some of it is hogwash, meant to sell you parts and/or services you don't need.

D'you have a Gen 1 or a Gen 2 ?

Mine is a 1978 model. I have an owners manual and a new hammer spring coming from TC, nice folks.

Be sure to make a slave pin to hold the hammer and spring together until you get them in place. It's an easy job if you do, and an incredible PITA if you don't.
