Astra A90 Disassembley instructions needed.

[Unit74]

Searched and looked on-line to no avail. Anyone have a clue how to field strip it?

Would this help?

Ok, I found a picture online of the right side of the pistol. It appears that there is a take down lever on that side. Pull the slide back until the disassembly cut (half circle cut in the slide) lines up with the lever and rotate it 90 degrees. At this point you should be able to lift the rear of the slide assembly off the frame and bring it forward to remove it completely.

It appears to take down just like a Sig P226 but the lever is on the other side.

I tried by doing that. I think I am doing something wrong. The take down leaver will not fully rotate and it stops the slide from going forward.

Figured it out.....There was a pin pushed out that should not have been.
