I am trying to take apart a Beretta 391 and cannot get past a certain point. I have the Instruction Manual but, it is not detailed/specific enough for me.
I am trying to disassemble the breech bolt. Specifically, I am trying to remove the cocking handle from the breech bolt so I can remove the bolt from the reveiver. How do I get the cocking handle out? I have already done everything up to that point (including removing the barrel from the receiver) with no problems. The manual says:
"Holding the cocking handle with the index or middle finger of the left hand, depress the breech bolt release button and allow the breech bolt to slide slowly forward until it stops (Fig. 23).
Extract the cocking handle from the breech bolt slide. (Fig. 24)."
What's the trick to "extracting" it?
Thank you in advance for any help.
