H&R 158 toper

Does anyone have some detailed instructions for disassembly/ reassembly for an old 158 Topper. Got mine detail stripped and can't get it back together. Thank you.

Pins should be removed from right to left due to splined heads on left side. You need to make a couple of slave pins to assemble the parts into the trigger guard, then insert assembly and install original pins. Looks a lot harder than it is. Goat

yeah I know about the pins Goat. Only problem is I took it apart over a year ago and don't remember where the parts go.

Tried google, all I get is poor exploded diagrams. I need someone to show me, look here dummy, this part goes here, this one here next, etc.

Have you tried H&R , they are part of New England Arms now . Any Handie is the same as the topper as far as assembly goes . If I had it , I'd be done in 10 Mins. !
