    Remington Model 6

    Hi,
    I am sorry to start a new thread but searched the archives in C&R and Rimfire and did not see postings for the Remington Model 6. I have several Remington rollers which are similar but this Model 6 falling block needs a full disassemble and unlike the other models the innards hidden inside the sideplate need to be punched out and I am not sure how to do it to make sure I can easily put the the parts back together. I found an exploded view of the parts but not enough information to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Model 6, or Model 6 Improved?
    The #6 is not a true rolling block. It is a small scale falling block boys rifle. The photo on the left is an example of the latest production #6 rifles. Earlier variations did not have the model...

      Regular 6. Thanks for adding Mr. Womack's link. He has saved my butt several times with parts. I forgot about his parts diagram and it reminded me to look for a decent diagram. Rifle was part of a auction with a model 4 and model 6. I mainly wanted the model 4.

      I found a diagram and pulled the 2 main pins and from there it was easy to clean. Reassembly was a pain but thank heaven for little girls. Daughter slipped the hammer pin in while I pushed down on the hammer. Now its her rifle.

      On an aside the receiver block was 12 shades of cold bluing so I used 000 steel wool and Mineral Spirits to clean it all off and tried to reblue and gave up. Realized it looks fine as is. Thanks again!

        Looks pretty nice --
        How is the #4?
        I do not want to appear condescending, but may I remind you to use some sort of safety glass for the young'un --

          Why did you touch the patina on the receiver? Anytime you use steel wool and clean a receiver you screw up the antique value and the true feel of the c&r. I have a couple and would never try that. I see people do this all the time and turn a 400 firearm into a 200 dollar firearm. Why don't you paint it camo now and make it yuppie cool.

            I think that I too, would have taken that crap off. I believe that the receivers were case hardened on those. When it ages it gets a silvery look to it.

              Do it justice, bubba killed the value, so make it a nice heirloom and rust blue it. Bob is a great guy to deal with, and answers all your questions about prep work and the color of blue you want.

                perhaps it would be nicer if you just suffered in silence --
