Dropped the other nut today?
I decided to replace the breech orings and to take the breech out and clean inside the frame.
Removed the pistol grip, set screw and bottle collar. Collar wouldn’t budge. Tried to use co2 adapter, no go. Ok Take out the front?
Removed tiny pw screw and all barrel set screws. Barrel pw spring spacer hammer popped right out.
Breech being a bitch just won’t slide out. Pulled the trigger and still no go.
Took the trigger shoe off. Bone headed that. That tiny micro nut went flying and never even knew IT 🙄 Removed the covers to the trigger group and used an allen wrench to press part of the trigger group. Waa Laa the breech finally Fell out onto the floor.
Installed O rings cleaned inside frame. The front of the breech was covered with crud. all else Fairly clean.
Long story short. Reassemble and the last thing to do reinstall the trigger shoe. Panic found the tiny micro nut to be missing. Thunder clouds rumbling and I wanted to test the rifle before it Rained.
Carpet and small parts uh! got a large magnet hands and knees on floor, in about ten minuets. Found my nut laying on the Carpet.
Installed trigger shoe and Rifle fired ok. Zero was close and the Storm Closer, Rain Ran me back inside.
Then the storm knocked the power out.
BTW once the barrel group is removed how do you get the breech out..?

my new frame has 2 10-32 set screws holding the bottle collar right next to each other in same area as the older 1 hole guns.
riffraff – 3 minutes after mentioning my name…. bwahahah !
Thanks to everyone.
Sam 😀
Both of my frames only have one 10/32 x 1/8″ set screw under the grip.
One frame is an old SS, the other is a ’06 Condor frame. It must be on the newest frames.
YN just bought a new frame, I wonder if he will chime in?
I didn’t know the collar had two set screws? I removed the one.
Thanks to everyone.

Just pull the trigger and push the safety at the same time. Take the hammer and slide it down the frame and it’ll knock the breech out.
You have to remove the grip and the trigger set cover/trigger guard…The collar has 2 set screws..One is really tiny and the other is
the same as the barrel grub screws IIRC……

Sounded like you took the long way.
With the barrel/pw/hammer/spring and tank removed, remove the bolt knob.
Get a long rod , fat enough to push the breech, and push it thru the frame toward the muzzle end. You might have to jiggle the trigger a few times, but it should go right past the sear and out the frame. Sometimes the safety keeps the sear up and you have to push the safety forward along with pulling the trigger.
The easier way, but only after some preliminary work is:
Remove the grip, remove the collar set screw, remove collar, remove breech bolt knob, remove breech.
The preliminary work is you have to drill an access hole thru the removable floor plate so you can get to the set screw without having to remove everything else. Once you do this, removing the collar is far easier.
I’ve done that. I have that big shag carpet that is really thick, drop something in there and it’s like dropping something in the grass, impossible to find. 🙁
Good to hear you found your nut though. 😀

Mine has a small allen bolt that holds It tight from underneath and then another countersunk screwdriver head screw on the scope rail that holds It tight from the top.
