RTI Mannlicher 1888/90 - Disassembly and Cleaning

I disassemble and do a deep clean on the Mannlicher 1888/90 I ordered from Royal Tiger Imports.
Overall it's not too dirty, I've seen much worse come from RTI and I've cleaned guns in much worse condition as well.
As I go, I troubleshoot the problem I had with the magazine follower spring, as well as take a close look at the rear sight and bolt to see how they work.

At 18:43 you can see what appears to be a -0.5 on the bottom of the receiver and a +0.5 on the bottom of the barrel. This apparently has something to do with headspacing. Mine are stamped -1 and +1. If you ever need to rebarrel one those numerals are supposed to match, one positive one negative

Thank you. Great video. It’ll be helpful when I do likewise to Mine. Let us know where you find a safety lever.

Everytime when someone ask what is most important tool you have in workshop, people say this screwdriver, that drill, that plyers etc. They all wrong. Most important tool in any workshop is... paper towels and old rag :D They can clean car parts, gun parts, floor, hands, everything :D

I recently stumbled upon your channel (thanks to the YT algorithm). Great, detailed content. Keep up the nice work! I have a video dropping today highlighting smaller channels, but unfortunately I didn't see yours in time to shout it out (I would have though).

I've recently got to taking mine apart, and it's rough hahaha. For one, the front barrel band seems to be soldered on, with what appears to be poured molten metal into the screw slot. This is also present on one of the screw slings and the volley sight. I have no clue how to get that off XD. The stock is cracked but is complete, and the wood is in overall good condition. Probably not gonna be able to take mine fully apart.

@rakumprojects Жыл бұрын

That's unfortunate. Maybe you could try drilling through the screw holes? Or grind new slots

@scottkrafft6830 Жыл бұрын

@@rakumprojects Unfortunately a large portion of the whatever molten metal they poured also ended up above the hole and on the band itself, where the screw head would be. I've been trying to whittle that away but to no avail. I can't even see where the original hole was yet. I'll try drilling through the back end and seeing if I can make any progress. Additionally the inner most barrel band is missing its screw and, while loose, was just hammered into shape around the barrel itself. Absolute garbage rod LMFAO. It's ironic because the Vetterli I got is in excellent condition, even still having a piece of the original sling attached.

Where can I find the clips and what the name for the clip also what oil did you use and where did you get them for cleaning it

@rakumprojects Жыл бұрын

Clips are available on ebay or various other sites. M95 clips are the common name for them. For cleaning this rifle I used WD-40 to remove the old grease. But any degreaser will work.

I’m trying to disassemble mine but I can’t get any of the screws out and I think I might round them off if I try to hard. I’m open to ideas if anyone’s got any.

@rakumprojects Жыл бұрын

Make sure the slots are cleaned out of any gunk. Use a well fitting parallel ground screwdriver. Maybe apply penetrating oil if they're still stuck.

Could have tried boiling the parts?

@rakumprojects Жыл бұрын

There's really not any rust on any of the parts. If there was any the Ethiopians took care of it by wire wheeling. If any comes back I'll boil and convert it.

Hey boss I don’t know if you’ll respond to this or not since the video is quite old now I’ve taken my assembly apart cleaned it and now I can’t get it to line up properly guaranteed I’m probably doing something wrong but I tried for two hours last night which is probably where I went wrong because it was 12:30 at night by the time I went to bed

The follower and the spring I can’t seem to get it to seat properly

@rakumprojects 10 ай бұрын

@@christopherg7442 In mine the spring didn't have any tension on it when the follower was up, making it easy to assemble. Maybe yours needs some persuasion to seat properly. The short leg of the spring rests on the opening in the magazine body and the longer leg fits against the notch in the follower arm.

@@rakumprojects I believe your right it only needs to move just a sliver up and it would seat properly
