I've assembled and disassembled my new '58 Remmy NMA. I've seen what all the parts are and where they go. What I haven't seen is any kind of illustration or explanation on how each part works. It would something like, "piece A moves like this so that piece B, (which is held in place by piece C) can move like this so that this spring can force the hammer down on the cap, igniting the Holy Black and making large flames. Piece D limits the motion of piece E so it doesn't bounce back and forth, poking out your eyes. Meanwhile, piece F doesn't actually do anything but it stays shiney and looks very very cool so all the hot chicks admire you."

This is my first gun and it seems that understanding its mechanics would be a good idea. Where would I find that information?

Jerry Kuhnhausen's book on the Colt Single Action Army tells how it works, and the Remington, other than the fact that it's a caplock, is the same, mechanically.
One of us can step by strep describe the action if you need, maybe later when I have more time to spare....

I should be able to find that book, so please don't worry about writing up anything. If there's a URL to a web page that already has that information that might be nice but this isn't time-critical so there's no problem even if I can't get to the bookstore (or amazon.com) for a little while.

Thanks!

Okay, which one is piece F? Mine must need replacing...  :'(
