Le Mat Pistol

Hi,
I just received a Le Mat pistol and I am trying to figure out how to take it apart so that I can clean it and then shoot it. The directions I received from Pietta have not been of any help. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

You need to read this thread carefully:

and then buy a copy of "Percussion Pistols and Revolvers, History, Performance and Practical Use" by Cumpston and Bates and read Chapter 34.

I have not had the pleasure of disassembling a LeMat, but if the information in those two references is correct, you are in for a real ordeal.
