I was worried about that too. There are only two videos on YouTube about dissembly/assembly of the Model 31, and on the first one I watched, the narrator had a problem with corrosion impeding dissembly on his at that location. Considering that mine very likely came from one of the most dismal places on earth, NW Pennsylvania (at least in winter!), it was surprisingly corrosion-free and came apart without a hitch (although I'd bet that it had never been fully taken-down for a cleaning in it's lifetime). Re-assembly of the bolt carrier/slide components was the real challange, and only after watching the second video did I figure it out. It would have been pretty tough to do without that info.
