Hi guys i am a new member here,

I was given an old mares mini mini sten from a familly friend and would like to restore it. It is in pretty rough condition inside. I need some advice on how to remove the muzzle as it twist with some effort but without unscrewing. I see it as a project speargun and i would really appreciate any help on how to get it back in working order, i will also attach some photos to further help understand its condition. P.S. I was also given its pump that i also need help taking apart.

Sincerely.

It's in pretty bad shape. The first step with the Mares is to bleed the air out, if there's any inside. There's obviously no more air here. The next step is to remove the trigger mechanism because it blocks the barrel from being removed. After that, the gun head is unscrewed, which isn't easy if the gun is like the one in the picture. After that, the screw that holds the air pump valve is unscrewed. By unscrewing that screw, the handle can be separated from the rest of the gun by pulling it back.
I did it a long time ago, but I think it's the right procedure.
