Disassembly and Cleaning

Before attempting to disassemble your rifle or carbine, you must make sure it

is UNLOADED!

FIELD STRIPPING:

With the action closed, pull the hammer rearward to the “Safe” position.

Locate the lever hinge pin (Part # 02) on the right side of the receiver near the rear

of the forearm. Next to the lever hinge pin is a small plunger pin that acts as a lock

to prevent the lever from rotating accidentally.

Depress the small plunger pin which will allow the lever hinge pin to be rotated

approximately 180 degrees. With the rifle turned upside down, rotate the lever hinge

pin forward and backward slightly while pulling outward to remove it.

Slide the trigger guard/lever and breech block out of the rifle. This completes the

field stripping process.

Further disassembly of your Sharps rifle or carbine should only be attempted by a

competent gunsmith.

ASSEMBLY:

Assembly is completed by performing the above steps in reverse order. Please

follow these instructions when replacing the breech block.

1. Lay the extractor in the extractor slot located in the breech block.

2. Hold the rifle with the barrel pointed upwards. Slide the breech block into

the bottom of the receiver.

3. Lift the extractor into the closed position as you move the breech block up into

the receiver.
