How does one disassemble a Ted Willams model 3t 22 cal rifle?

Answer 1

Built by Winchester and basically the same as the Model 190. Take out the magazine tube. Work the action several times to be sure it is unloaded. Check it, then double-check it. Drift out the crosspin at the rear of the receiver - it is plastic so be careful not to deform it - and you can remove the trigger group downward and to the rear. Pull the bolt back slightly so you can get a fingertip in front of it then remove it out of the bottom of the receiver. As you do this you will be able to remove the bolt handle to the side. This is all under spring tension so be careful of the recoil spring and guide. There is no need to take it down any further for routine maintenance. The bolt, for example, has a large spring inside with a ball bearing on each end which can be difficult to reassemble. sales@countrygunsmith.net
