eredel Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I'm trying to take my 302 apart for the first time to clean and can't remove the cocking handle. I press the latch button on the side but the handle won't budge. Am I missing something or is it my aged weak fingers? Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IEH Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 On my 303 there's no need to press the latch button and it just pulls free, though you may have to 'wiggle' it a bit. I suspect the design is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 If it's like my 390 it's spring tensioned, take the barrel off then it should wiggle out allowing u to take the bolt assembly out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyatt Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 is the lever/switch up next to the button? That locks the mechenism. Also remember to cock but not fire the action or everything gets stuck when you try to take it to bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eredel Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I dread old age! It's a battle just to get there!! Dismantled, cleaned and reassembled.....think I got it right as it cocks and releases ok. Next time I may tackle the trigger!!! Thanks again, Eric.
