Disassembling
These Guns
Many
of these guns have been damaged by people trying to get them apart without
knowing how. Others have never tried to do so for fear of damaging them.
However, instructions with step-by-step photos are readily available in
standard reference books. You probably already have these books or know someone
who does. I have also included some links on disassembly here. Always
make sure your gun is unloaded before handling it. Always keep your finger off
the trigger and out of the trigger guard unless you intend to fire. Always keep
your muzzle pointed in a safe direction. If you do not know what you are doing,
find someone who does. Safety first! I am not responsible for any damage,
injury or death you may cause by using or misusing any of the information
contained in any of these resources.
Instructions for the
Type 26 revolver:
The Gun Digest Book of
Firearms Assembly/Disassembly, Part II: Revolvers, Revised Edition by J.B. Wood (DBI Books, Northbrook Illinois,
1990), pages 191-198.
Instructions for the
Type 14 semi-auto:
The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly, Part I: Automatic
Pistols, by J.B. Wood (DBI Books, Northbrook Illinois, 1979), pages 220-226.
Instructions for the
Type 94 semi-auto:
The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly, Part I: Automatic Pistols

The
specialized reference books pictured above also have instructions for these
guns and the earlier semi-auto designs, but not step-by-step pictures.
Web Pages on Type 14 Disassembly:
There are several procedures that
differ in the order of approaching the stages of disassembly. (I will post
links to YouTube videos here when I update—this seems to be the preferred way
of learning everything nowadays)
I
have also posted part of a US Army WWII manual that gives a verbal description
of Type 14 disassembly without photos at: US Army WWII Type 14 Disassembly

Web Page on Papa Nambu Disassembly:
I have included instructions for
basic field-stripping of the Papa Nambu in my page on
one of my Papa Nambu pistols. Please see: Papa Nambu
Photos (Tokyo Arsenal, pistol 4084). The instructions are at the very end
of that page.
