alanint -- Yes, you're lucky. Normal way to strip C96 starts from the magazine floor. But it won't work when it's super tight. I have five 1930s, only one floor can be removed in the 'normal' way. All other four 'air softs' have super tight floors. I scratched my first one.

The problem with 'normal' way .... one hand has to hold a wood stick to push down the latch, the thumb of another hand pushes the floor forward. There are two issues when the floor is tight: 1st, one thumb cannot offer enough force; 2nd, the position of the gun is awkward, it's impossible to push floor hard enough without losing balance.

Previously introduced method overcomes those two issues.

Why it's super tight is another question. The reason is unclear. Why 1930's tightness rate is higher than other variations? It's interesting to notice a well-known collector/researcher mentioned this "1930 tightness" in a column in the Gun Report magazine..... but he did not explain why it's super tight.....

Maybe someone here could explain? Could it simply because it's never disassembled before?
