All 88 rifles are dissembled in a similar manner, with only minor differences between sporting rifles and carbines, and between the early and late production guns. This manual will first outline the history of the 88 Winchester, then provide information on what tools will be needed in order to properly take apart and completely disassemble your rifle. This will be followed with diagrams/schematics needed for reference during the entire dismantling process, and finally the step-by-step disassembly process itself. The manual closes with how to reassemble the gun, gunsmithing tips, and at the end is a brief history of Winchester Firearms. This will be followed with diagrams/schematics needed for reference during the entire disassembly, and finally the step-by-step disassembly process itself. There will be multiple steps involved in the dismantling of your Winchester 88. Each section of the gun-disassembly process will be treated as a STEP throughout the E-book, thus enabling you to move among the takedown instruction STEPS for various sections of the gun. For example, if you only need to look at the hammer, you can proceed directly to that STEP number. Because each section of the dismantling process is set up by area of the gun, anyone interested in only a portion of the dismantling can thus quickly skip directly to that step. The final step will include some tips on reassembling your gun. You will find that, by carefully following the instructions, dismantling is a fairly easy and straight-forward process (when compared to other guns). The whole process requires only a minimum of tools, items that most people will probably already have in their home or shop.
