So I picked up an IJ-70 from a member yesterday. Looked it over, but didn't bother trying to disassemble it. [It's a combloc pistol, what could possibly be wrong with it?] Anyway, I get home from work an hour or so ago and I decide it's time to take it down and clean it up. Well, I can't get the damn slide off.
Maybe I'm just a huge sissy or something, but the damn thing will not come off. I'm pulling it as far back as possible, and lifting up. I feel like anymore force and the thing will just break [as if I could break steel].
He mentioned it had a new spring or something put in, so I'm wondering if maybe it's just a stronger recoil spring and it's not broken in, making the slide hard to remove.
Any insight from owners would be useful. Maybe there's just a certain finesse to take it off that I'm not getting...
Thanks
