gunsmithing manuals

[hobby-gunsmith]

Does anyone know where I can find disassembly/assembly manuals for the pre-1900 tip-up and top break revolvers? I can remove the cylinders hinge pins, stock and main springs on the tip ups but would like to take them down completely. I have searched many sites but to no avail. Thank You.

Antique Firearms Assembly/Disassembly by David R Chicoine. It's a Gun Digest book, and available from Gun Digest 800-258-0929, or directly from David Chicoine (google him in the net, has a website). Starting on page 171 with .22 & .32 Rimfire Models 1, 1 1/2, & 2. Then into all the Top breaks.
