    Carl Gustaf 12,7x44R Disassembly

    I recently purchased a Swedish Carl Gustaf 12.7x44R built in 1875 based on the Remington Rolling Block.
    Now what I'm looking for is a description of how to completely disassemble the rifle, no video but a downloadable pdf or web page that describes the procedure.
    Note that it is not a field strip I am looking for.
    Hoping for tips Thanks

    Frank de Haas "Single Shot Rifles & Actions" but you may not be able to find one, long out of print. But the 1867 is a very simple rifle action. Just go slow and study the interaction of the parts.

    - remove buttstock
    - remove pivot pin keepers, whether plate or screws. set aside.
    - remove hammer and trigger pivot pins.
    - lift hammer out.
    - lift breechblock out.
    - remove two triggerguard screws, set aside out.
    - remove triggerguard.

    The springs can be removed and inspected.
    Inspect for dings or dents in the metal. Use fine stone to remove.

    If the mainspring looks like a beaver chewed on it you can use a coarse and fine oil stone to work it out like the 2nd photo.




    I removed the barrel on mine. Barrel was very grungy.


    I made slave pins to hold it together without using the screws.

    This is mine. It was a m/1867-74. Only upgrade was re-calibrating the rear sight and a new higher comb buttstock. This rifle has the 1874 buttstock configuration. Its actually much better than the Remington m/1867 buttstock. This one being the ~sporter~ doesn't have the military rear sight.





    Very few parts to worry about.


    Advert from Vapendepoten (Sweden).



    The set-up I used to remove the barrel.

    This one is also a m/1867-74 rifle.

    This is a pure Swedish Remington m/1867 rifle. The buttstock is different. Pretty much all Remington m/1867 model rifles have this buttstock config.











    This is how they canceled out the older rear sight graduations:
