[billpear]

Hi all I have a "new to me" 5906 that needs a though cleaning, but my problem is how to remove the right side safety lever to get into the firng pin channel.
Anyone have the procedure?
Thanks!

Follow up question, how loose does your lever fit in the dovetail? Mine seems very loose

If it is like a typical 3rd gen. pistol. You would insert the end of a paper clip into the access hole on the right side of the saftey lever, depressing the plunger. Slide the lever off forward, retaining the little spring and plunger. Hope this helps you out. good luck

Thanks I didn't think it would be that easy.
