29. The striker, its spring, and the collar at the rear can be separated from the cocking piece by drifting out the roll cross pin. Caution: The captive spring is still under tension. Except for repair, this system should be left intact.
30. The cartridge guide is a separate part, driven into a well in the underside of the receiver. If it is damaged and must be replaced, it can be driven out downward. Replacement requires precise positioning. In normal takedown, even for refinishing, it is best left in place.
Reassembly Tips:
1. When installing the striker assembly in the bolt end piece, place the spring collar against the shoulders in the end piece, and push the assembly back and inward to snap it into place.
2. When replacing the Allen screw, be sure the screw hole is precisely aligned before turning the screw into place.
3. Before the bolt can be put back into the receiver, the striker must be in cocked position. Grip the front of the bolt firmly in a shop cloth or a padded vise, and turn the handle until the lug is in the position shown.
4. When installing the safety-lever, be sure its front fork engages the bolt lock side pin, as shown. After the post is drifted into place, remember to rehook the spring under the lever at the rear.

Browning’s neat little lever-action 22 has been made by Miroku of Tokyo for many years, and it will probably be around for many years to come. It is unique among currently-made 22-caliber lever actions in having the trigger mounted in the lever, rather than in the receiver. It also has a very short lever arc that allows operation of the action without removing the hand from the wrist of the stock. For the nonprofessional, some elements of the takedown and reassembly can be rather difficult. Note that in 2005 the same rifle was offered in 17 Mach 2 chambering as the BL-17.
Disassembly:
1. Remove the inner magazine tube, and set the hammer on its safety step. Partially open the action. Take out the large cross-screw at the rear of the receiver.
2. Move the sub-frame and buttstock assembly straight out toward the rear. Move it slowly, and insert a fingertip through the ejection port to restrain the ejector, as it will be released as the front of the bolt clears it.
3. Remove the ejector spring from its recess in the left inner wall of the receiver. Move the ejector downward off its fixed pivot post, and take it out.
4. Tip the bolt upward at the rear, and move it a short distance toward the front.
5. Bring the rear of the bolt back down parallel with the top of the sub-frame, then lift the bolt off upward.
6. The firing pin and its return spring are retained in the bolt by a roll cross pin. Drift out the pin, and remove the firing pin and spring toward the rear.
7. The bolt cover plate on the right side is taken off by prying it gently outward at the rear, equally at the top and bottom, until it snaps off its fixed mounting pin.
8. Insert a screwdriver blade between the extractor and its plunger, depress the plunger, and remove the extractor from its recess in the bolt. Caution:Take care that the screwdriver doesn’t slip, and ease out the plunger and spring.
9. Depress the carrier, and remove the locking block from the lever link toward the left.
10. Unhook the carrier spring and allow its front arm to swing upward, relieving its tension.
