Good afternoon all,
Just purchased an FS2000 and started to field strip it to clean and lubricate prior to heading to the range for the first time. For some reason, I'm having trouble getting the piston out of the housing. With the plug out, I ran a couple cotton swabs in the housing to make sure it was clean prior to removing the piston, pushed the OREA 892 into the slide rod housing while following it up with the slide rod. It pushes the piston to within a half inch or so from the opening of the piston housing, but won't go any further. The manual states "Push the slide rod until the piston is ejected out of its housing." Um, not working.
I know it's something I'm doing incorrectly, but just can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
