Need help on Model 12 Takedown

[Crowcommander]

Anyone got info on the mechanics of taking apart a model 12 and putting it back together. I got it apart but need assistance on getting it back together. I have trouble getting the operating rod and the bolt in the receiver back together. Thanks for any info. Crowcommander

Well since it seems you can get it all together except the bolt and op rod...here is the trick. Take a look at the bolt... On the left hand side of the bolt..(looking at it from the back of the bolt) there is a small part that is on a pivot pin. This is the part that engages the op rod.. The part has to be pivoted in at the front when you put the bolt back in the receiver so that the op rod can go past the front part of the pivot and engage the rear part. You'll see what I mean as soon as you look at it. Pretty self explanatory. Nice guns BTW
