I dont have one of those in particular, but no gun should have parts that fly out. Just don't take apart the trigger mechanism, thats where things will fly out
 you can take it out, just don't take it apart.

It's the same basic design as a High Standard Flite King. There's an exploded drawing in the thread at http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/view...p?f=7&t=201263 . Field stripping it is similar to field stripping a Mossberg 500 in some ways, the main difference in the designs being that the bolt in your gun locks up into a recess in the top of the receiver like a Winchester Model 12 and the barrel is fixed, while the Mossberg bolt locks up into the extension of the removable barrel. Of course, the safety on your gun is a crossbolt design not a top tang slider. See http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/FIR...ssberg_500.pdf for the Mossberg 500 owner's manual.
This book has illustrated instructions for field stripping the Flite King - http://shop.collect.com/product/the-...rt-v-shotguns/ . It's a great gun, IMHO the slickest pumpgun out there when it's properly cleaned and lubed. hth, lpl
