Thank you that helped a lot.
I ended having to clamp the trip down and with a thin screwdriver through the front pried between the top lever and the spindle to ease it out the bottom of the receiver. The trip was a 1/4" wide L shaped piece with a coil spring underneath it. So the only five pieces removed were the top lever, trip, trip spring, spindle, and the spindle/ top lever screw.
I bought the gun for cheap knowing the safety didn't work, the triggers were locked up, the automatic ejector didn't work, and that it wouldn't fire. I have fixed some but I wanted to tear it down so I have a better understanding how things work and to communicate better with people like you who have a lot more knowledge than me.
As curiosity is one of my vices I look forward to future advice as my project progresses.
Thanks again.
