Watched a YouTube video on the RAMI
« on: September 01, 2018, 07:08:10 AM »
and the clown was bemoaning the ?fact? that they are not able to be field stripped ?without tools ?.

My slide stop/takedown lever/pin sits proud of the frame and though I can not push it out with my thumb alone, pushing the pin against any flat surface moves it out enough that removal can easily be completed by hand. This boob used a rubber mallet to get the pin started and wailed on it several times before he got it to budge.

Just goes to show you that the ?experts? on BoobTube are often times not...experts that is.

I love the RAMI, great firearm IMO. I guess they sell out so quickly ?cause people are just so stupid.

Robert Farago "problems with the CZ 2075".

One of my pet peeves is when people, especially those that are acting in the role of teacher or at the least knowledgeable user, misidentify tools. I taught jewelry making, silver and pewtersmithing for over 15 years and students would inevitably come up and ask about this or that "thing"...I stressed proper nomenclature of hand tools. I didn't know what "thing" they were talking about unless they could name it. That said, Robert mistakenly calls a mallet a hammer...I wasn't surprised !

Ya, this is one of the reasons that i have thus far decided agents making CZ tuning videos. It is much harder to edit them when you come across new information or catch mistakes that you have made. The great thing about forum posts is that i can correct my self quickly when ever i need to. I still frequently updates posts for that i made years go now. If i was unable to do that or i had to re shoot/re edit a video to accomplish the corrections it would drive me nuts.

I do not mean to knock everyone who makes mistakes in videos, it is unavoidably going to happen. I am just not cut out to live with those mistakes without significant personal agitation. Especially when it comes to firearms.

My slide stop/takedown lever/pin sits proud of the frame and though I can not push it out with my thumb alone, pushing the pin against any flat surface moves it out enough that removal can easily be completed by hand.
This pin is tight on all of my pistols, regardless of make and model.  I don?t have to use a mallet but it does require more force then I can muster w/ my hand alone.  I use a Magpul plastic 223 dummy round.  It?s non marring and works perfectly.  Anyone that thinks there?s a problem if the pin is tight is a fool.

Another useful tool is half a wooden clothes pin. Can be found at Walmart or Amazon :-https://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-Natural-Wood-Clothespins-100/dp/B002HRLL2U. It is non-marring and can be used as a lever to help move the slide stop lever.

Apparently the guy in the video didn't read the manual.  To disassemble you half cock the hammer then pull the slide back to touch the hammer.  That is the procedure in the manual that came with my RAMI.  It also works for my 75B and PCR.

As far as the slide stop, he is correct that it can be a bear to push out.  Using a magazine to start pushing it out works very well and I used a plastic pry tool that came with a cell phone disassembly kit to finish removing the slide stop.   

I sent mine in to get the trigger polished and when it came back the slide stop can be removed with my thumb.  Apparently some area was polished and made disassembly much easier.

There is a guy trashing Taurus revolvers too.  I don't know about others experience, but I had a good .38 ultralight.  I have also seen a guy showing how to do a trigger job to a S & W revolver using s file...No, a 10 inch file like you would buy at Walmart!

A quarter (dollar) is a very small, and typically handy, tool for the initial urging of the slide stop pin, and can also be used to pry the slide stop lever away from the frame without marring if for any reason one doesn't want to "pinch" it away.

I use pennies instead of quarters.
