Star firestar M43

[wasralex22]

Major help needed.
My friend wanted to completely clean his star firestar down to a complete disassemble. Not finding much help on the online he decided it didn't look to complicated he started to disassemble the lower receiver. Pushing a pin out 3 small parts fell out. After that happened we realized it was beyond complicated.

They seem to be part of the hammer system. We cannot find any instruction on how to put the parts back together.

Any help would be appreciated.

Pretty much stupid rookie mistake. Hopefully not permanent?

Check out numrich for a diagram and figure it out.

Here's a link to the manual, which has an exploded diagram, which might help.

And this might help.

Looks like you have parts 30, 39, 28, and 29.

The diagram doesn't shed to much detail. May have to bring it to a gunsmith.

Thank you though.

Hopefully I can figure out something.

Here's my guess...Star does not like hotlinking...

Wow. It was there yesterday.

Not exactly subtle, are they?

As subtle as a hand grenade in a bowl of oatmeal...

With only three parts it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out like a puzzle. Just try different combinations out and function check. My guess by mechanically looking at the parts I'd say short side of spring would rest on the small tab that hangs off lower right side of larger piece, with barrel of spring facing up. Then other would be on large section of spring. Look for small wear marks from spring to help with reassemble. I'm sure you can manage to get that thing together and good luck.

jgeebs413, you were right on the money. After some hair loss, some broken chairs. She is done.

Thank you everyone.
Now, I am going to cry myself to sleep.

Not a problem glad I could help. Now he can completely disassemble in future with ease. And cost of the help will be 21 or whatever the cost of going green is nowadays.
