- In this video I show you how to completely take apart a browning model 1922. I filmed this video at 0200 in the morning so I was a bit tired so please excuse my fumbles.
I decided not to refilm the video since the pins are loose I would just be refilming the sane struggle.
thank you, 8 years later and its helped me out HEAPS!
Glad my video helped you.
The basic field strip on this pistol was not nearly as challenging as I had previously thought. Even though this did not happen to you in the video, I did have to hold in the release button in the near barrel as it constantly wanted to fall out. Thank you posting this video!
Thank you so much! My father passed away and I inherited this gun. Turn the barrel? Silly FN. Thanks again!
my first pistol when i was a teen, many moons ago. loved it. durable, accurate .compact.
I know this probably won't be seen by you but thank you so much for this video I took the magazine disconnect pin out and could not figure out how to get it back in and you help me so much figuring that out.
This comment was seen by me. I dont make content anymore but I still respond to comments. Glad my video helped you.
My trigger pin also was very tightly fitted. Simple pushing wasnt enough to move it. So i used a hammer. Small screwdriver and two hammer hits - and pin removed.
Thanx for video. Regards
That gun is a work of art.....comes apart without even a lever.... and shoots sweet too....
Thank you Comrade .. I cant stand waiting to get my sane pistol.
greetings from Yemen🌺
thanks for this video, I have a browning 1955/1910 and need cleaning, because it has a lot of rust on the inside, and I see that this gun has a very similar system to disarm.
Great video, very informative. Now i can field strip my FN with no issues 😊
Awesome video. You just saved me from a coronary with my 1922. Thanks!
Brian Druggan glad I helped you. Enjoy your pistol
I just took mine apart. The firing pin & spring stayed on the receiver. For some stupid reason, I pulled the trigger. DON'T do that. By the grace of all that is holy, I found the spring, firing pin and pin in the rear of the spring. Your video made reassembly quite easy. THANK YOU 😄
Yeah don't pull the trigger with at that time. You're lucky you found the spring and pin. Angels and God were looking down upon you then. Glad you found my video helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Greetings from 2 years in the future. I just did the same thing 30 minutes ago. Off comes the barrel and slide and.... wait, this doesn't look like in the video! I didn't pull the trigger but I swear I just BREATHED on that compressed firing pin spring and everything went flying. Fortunately, found the pieces. But now I know why the gun sat for 30 years... tip of the firing pin is busted off. Everything else about the gun seem to work flawlessly. I'm gonna find a new firing pin and get this thing running again.
@@grandmasmalibu I sold mine a year ago to a friend who put in a good bit of effort to restoring the gun. He didn't refinish it, but replaced a few well worn parts and it is in much better working condition now.
@@Pichouette Yep, working condition is what I'm shooting for, too. Ordered a new firing pin last night for it. This was obviously a service weapon at some point in its life. I like the patina, just want the guts to work. Hard to believe John Browning designed this thing. Aside from the grip safety, nothing else about it feels at all familiar.
So I just inherited one of these. It's a fascinating gun. Ours was able to fire once and then ceased to work. Seems like several people have had this problem. That is what has brought me to this video and I thank you very much for your instructions. I was wondering about the process for full disassembly.
However, one thing I have noticed on your Browning is you are actually missing one piece (Firing pin follower) which isn't surprising considering ours was missing it as well and a gunsmith tried to replace it with some other incorrect piece. I just ordered mine the other day. Also have a new spring kit my Dad had ordered before passing. He was thinking maybe the springs had gone bad.
Old springs sometimes need replacing. I dont own this gun anymore and was unaware of a missing piece.
Another youtube disassembly and cleaning video mentioned that part is typically missing. I just disassembled a FN 1922 I bought from my in law's estate and it's missing too. Not sure if it has every been field stripped judging by the amount of gunk inside.
Süper , şimdiye kadar izlediğim en güzel video
When disassembling the frame, you should remove the Safety Catch, after the grips have been removed. This makes the process much easier. Similarly, when reassembling, the Safety Catch should be the final part to be installed before the grips. Once the Safety has been removed, push out the pin that holds the Safety Grip..........
Thanks for this video. Very clear and concise and very helpful. I was just given a 1922 by a friend. I do notice, though, that your gun appears to be missing the Firing Pin Spring Follower / Guide (which, I now see, are actually available from Numrich!).
Now I need to figure out if mine was civilian or military. It's missing the Waffenamts, which makes it military, but the barrel (with the correct serial number, I might add) is in the white - which I'm told makes it military. Quite puzzling.
The one & only time I dry-fired my late Father's 1922, it broke the firing pin. Suggest having a snap-cap chambered when dry-firing for disassembly.
UPDATE: the sear and mag-out-safety ARE loose. I put a tiny piece of scotch tape over those holes on one side of the frame, then insert those pins. Saves a bunch of frustration.
UPDATE: like on of the posters below, I purchased a replacement firing pin (and new magazine) for Dad's FN Browning. 32. When I tried it on the range, it fired once and locked up with a live round in the chamber. I had to remove magazine and VERY CAREFULLY remove barrel extension lug, essentially field stripping it to clear that live round. Since then, I have modified the new firing pin to match the dimensions of the original (broken) firing pin; however, the weapon will not function with more than 2 rounds in the original mag. With new magazine, the problem is worse.
A real "head-scratcher." Suggestions appreciated
As I am not a gunsmith I feel I am undereducated as to the diagnosis. I'd take it to an credited gunsmith and let him or her look it over.
@@fattywithafirearm yes, I think that's the next step...sighhhh
Just bought one, thanks for the info.
Thank you very much!!!.
I found one in an old house butler IT has not the recoil Spring , the magazine and the front block
nice pistol and what a lovely watch you have
Thank you and thank you. The watch was my HS graduation gift from my grandfather.
I was advised NOT to dry fire too much - leads me to believe the firing pin must "crystalize and break" (???). The price of firing pins and difficulty of finding them suggest that is correct. I use a pencil with rubber eraser down the barrel so the rubber cushions the pin.if and when its necessary to drop the pin.
Also on my pistol (at least) the small latch and spring on the nose piece ARE NOT contained in any way and first time mine fell out. luckily into a tray.I was using.
PS the word is 32ACP is soon not going to be manufactured. So stock up.
Yeah you shouldnt dry fire these old guns. Iv been trying to stock up on 32 anyway. I hope companies dont halt all production of 32acp. I can understand manufacturers not making 32 during the ammo crunch while other calibers sell better and faster.
@@fattywithafirearm I was told it has more to do with it being hammerless. (Im not sure why)
thanks
Good video. Thanks. Looks like you are missing the "Firing Pin Spring Follower". You can source this from Numrich part # 491230A.
I noticed that too. My 1922 has a "follower" pin in the hammer end of the firing pin spring. Lost it once when I was taking it down to clean. As I was pulling the spring out, the follower flew out across the garage. Found later fortunately. Numrich now has all of Commemorative Arms parts, so it is likely you can get an original new part. Mr. Riggio has retired and sold them his entire inventory. Numrich is showing it in stock for $ 9.75 Part Number 2107660A.
I wish there were more fixed barrel designs out there for 9mm.
I have m1910, their parts are same but tiny, I want to disassembly and anxiety about can't reassembly.
edit: I can reassembly, thanks man
By a friend of mine, the slide no longer goes forward and the small metal plate + spring next to the ejector have fallen out.
You saved me lol😂
Will the .380 acp barrel fit in this same firearm without any additional work?
I'm not sure.
Hey that was a handy video. I've got a '44, 42? I cant remember,(which ever is the more common stamped one), occupied model my great uncle picked up in the WW. Your vid helped me dissect it. I carry it every now and then when I hike. Actuall kind of a awkward little gun. Nothing about it fits my hand. Just big enough to not be a pocket pistol. Odd creature. Back when all the ammo scaresness was going on I found of all things several boxes of 50 .32acp on a shelf. Never been what Id call common around here ever. Anyways I got to shoot the old rascal again.
I'm glad my video helped you. I'm glad that you still get to enjoy your gun.
Thanks for the video. I am helping a friend with her Dad's old FN 1922. She broke the firing pin so I replaced it. She claims it worked fine before the pin broke. I replaced the pin with a new original one from eBay after having one from Gun Parts Corp not work. Now it fires but only with a round in the chamber and an empty magazine. Any suggestions on where to look? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
odonusa007 so it fires with an empty magazine inserted but with a magazine that has ammo in it the gun won't fire?
fattywithafirearm that’s correct. If I load a magazine with more than one round and rack the slide, it will not fire. I can continue ejecting rounds until the mag is empty. When the last round is chambered and the mag is empty it fires. Strangest thing I’ve seen yet.
That doesn't make any sense. The only thing I can think of is when the magazine is loaded it might be putting pressure on the trigger bar and that's why it wouldn't fire. Bc that round in the mag puts pressure on the mag since its pushed against the bottom of the slide. Man that's all I can think of.
fattywithafirearm it’s a start! Thank you. I have bore camera I can poke around get a closer look at those parts. Thank You!
Thank you...
Fatih Gündoğu you're welcome.
very nice
I've got this gun, but it doesn't carry.
What should I do? Apparently there's nothing left
What do you mean it doesn't carry? It doesnt extract? Load? Fire?
they need to bring back some old classic pistols.
people say this all the time, the issue is you need a complete technical data package for each gun. Also the price wouldn't be good sadly
I have a 1910 that appears to have a disconnect failure. Would you happen to know how these parts interact and what may be going on?
Andrew I'm not sure. sadly I no longer own this gun so I can't take it apart to help you out. Again I'm sorry I can't help you.
It fine thanks.
Nice video, but for goodness sakes, get some appropriate punches and screwdrivers - a gun of this vintage and quality deserves it.
You can tell me please what is the dollar value of this gun, browning 1922?
+Real e Increible They range in price from $300ish to over $500. it depends on if it is a nazi pistol, condition.
Nice
Where we can get the replacement barrel
Numrich, ebay, liberty tree collectors. You can probably Google that and get more info
My pistol has been lying unused for three years. It was kept properly oiled. Now I'm unable to move the slide backward, cocking action, after releasing safety catch. What could be the problem? May I request you to please advise. May I have your number please, so as to discuss the problem over voice call. Thank you very much!
I am not a certified gunsmith. I dont like to give out my info. It could be gunk buildup in the action. If you can I'd suggest taking it to a gunsmith. You dont want to start beating on the gun or trying to force something a nd risk breaking it. Bc parts are a pain to find.
@@fattywithafirearm Thank you so much for your prompt response, very kind of you! 🙏
This was awesome! Can you do a Baby Browning? I took mine apart for cleaning and now it won't cock and fire. Thanks!
Charlie Rohlfing I would if I had a baby Browning.
Charlie Rohlfing is it anything like the colt 25acp pistol I made a video on a few years back?
to the 10:02 is something missing to the back
place of the spring ?
Yes. It's called the firing pin spring guide. This gun didnt have it. Didnt effect its function.
Cool video. Just did one on my new channel. 504 Dirt Dart told me about you. Just subbed.
Cool thank you. I'll have to take a look at your channel
Do you know where i could find an magazind for one at?
Gunbroker maybe. Triple K magazines.

Good video do you have a Luger P8 ?
I do own a P.08 luger. Mauser S/4e manufactured in 1936
@@fattywithafirearm will you make a complete disassemble and reassembly on it 😘😉
I looking to buy a 1917
Con una de esa soi yo pero ai mucho ruchi en el barrio
per la messa in sicurezza si toglie SEMPRE prima il caricatore
Mui linda amigo aver si la presta
you are missing the guide rod
I think that is miising something in 10:02. Is true ?
Overly complicated, absurd to clan in the field and while its a good gun, it does it require this much attention???
Locktight them pins.
Me boi a conprar una mui pronto
A very rare ww2 fabrication (wood grips)...... most have black ” FN” plastic grips
A time ı have it
Browning Subay
Ago una banda de robo con esa pero yono ablo con nadie viste no tengo mucha cabida alta pistola me enamore
