Got up this morning, and started deep cleaning my guns. Did the shotguns, and my bolt actions no problem. Down to my last gun which is my Mossberg model 464 30-30. (first lever action) Well after taking her apart and doing the clean, I noticed I have no idea how to put her back. Okay I think no problem I will go to youtube, not anything there but people shooting the guns

Now I have a dissabmled gun, but wait the mossberg website has to have info on it,

I check there and the manual states that you should not take the gun apart, and only have a qualified blacksmith do that

Now my favorite bear rifle is sidelined.

I am sure we all have done this at some point. I can't think of a manual anymore that is anything but a compilation of CYA's from the manufacturer. I bought a holster from Uncle Mike's and it expressly said that their holsters are not to be used with a loaded firearm.

Maybe there is a Mossberg forum on-line with someone who can help?

You might want a gunsmith

I don't think you need all those extra parts anyhow.

I'm sure there are gunsmiths out there right now who are needing work! Gotta keep those guys in business!

You've got the lever and those three pieces in the first pic left correct?

seth30 · « **Reply #5 on:** October 11, 2010, 02:00:11 PM »

I may end up doing that, but still gonna try to figure out this jigsaw

YOUTUBE.COM

I've had the same problem before and when my brother suggested it, I scoffed... (also a mossberg)

3 beers later, I gave it a try and there were at least 10 other 'How To' re-assy guides, all very detailed (some more than they needed to be), but almost all very helpful.

I'd give it a try, couldnt hurt

LOL. Just be thankful you did it with a lever action and not a semi-auto. If you have a similar rifle take that apart too and you'll learn how it goes back together. This is all part of the learning curve. Have fun.

Couldn't find a manual on the 454, but here is a link to the 464. Should be close I am guessing.

seth30 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 11, 2010, 02:29:01 PM »

thanks, now I just need to put her back together.

seth30 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 11, 2010, 03:28:28 PM »

The firing pin is 1/2 an ich off from the hammer when I pull the trigger, and when i run the lever action it stops short, of going all the way forward

seth30 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 11, 2010, 04:11:48 PM »

never knew that these little pieces of the puzzle could stress me out

I was going to be a smart A$$ and say something about an AK/SK/LS trying to be a gun smith... but then I remembered the hours it took me to put my shotgun (semi auto) back together and get all the O rings in...... good luck!

seth30 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 11, 2010, 04:33:46 PM »

I actually gave up for the day

penndy · « **Reply #17 on:** October 11, 2010, 04:35:03 PM »

I have done some reading on the mossberg model 464 and have seen many reviews saying that it is nearly identical to the winchester model 94s, recent models that is. If you were able to find some youtube videos on disassembly and reassembly of the 94s you might be able to find something to help ya.

seth30 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 11, 2010, 04:37:09 PM »

I will have to search youtube for that one. thanks for the input!

C-Money · « **Reply #19 on:** October 11, 2010, 04:40:32 PM »

Good luck! Hope you figure it out!

seth30 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 11, 2010, 04:41:42 PM »

so do I

penndy · « **Reply #21 on:** October 11, 2010, 04:58:57 PM »

Here is the link to youtube for a guy working on a 50s production Winchester 94. I looked around quite a bit and it seems that there isn't much help for people and their Mossbergs. Best of luck with your project.
