Sulun spas 12 takedown instructions are outdated

[u/Xaxxus]

Anyone got a good takedown video for it?

Seems the newer model’s magazine spring is locked in place and the instructions are for the old model. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get the magazine spring off.

Instructions and actual firearm in photos for reference.

Also the pins above the trigger group are impossible to remove I’ve taken a punch and a hammer to them and they won’t budge.

EDIT:

Ok I figured out the issue.

The instructions say to twist and pull out the charging handle. On the gen2, the charging handle comes out with a straight pull when it’s moved back about halfway. Mine was stuck (like almost everything on this gun).

The actual bolt and firing pin hold together the action spring. You can’t disassemble it fully without removing the bolt and firing pin.

I put the gun into pump mode, and used the handguard to pull the bolt back about half way. Then used a pair of pliers to yank out the charging handle.

At this point I was able to follow the remaining steps as normal.

I was unable to remove the trigger group because the rear pin holding it in is completely stuck, I tried a punch and hammer to get it out with no luck. I think I need a press or something to get it loose. Already scratched the shit out of the side of the gun with the hammer and punch method.

you mean the action spring? after the handguard comes off you can move the bolt further forward so the bolt handle can pop out when aligned correctly. then all that stuff out front can be removed

Hmm the instructions say to remove the charging handle before removing the handguard. But that also seems nearly impossible to do by hand.

Pull hard, come easy.
