Raven arms mp-25 slide will not disassemble

[Row2112]

I own a Raven Arms MP-25 automatic pistol and the slide cannot be removed from the gun, please help! I’m trying to repair it to give to my grandfather I tried the correct way and the slide will not lift from the main body of the gun no matter how hard I try, I’m fairly new to firearms repair but not to handling them by the way…thanks!

Remove the magazine and pull the trigger. The gun must be uncocked. Look at the rear of the slide. Notice that circle around the firing pin hole. That's the slide catch.  Use a punch, pen, pencil, whatever and push it in. Leave the slide in the full forward position. With the lock pushed in, lift  up on the rear of the slide until it clears the frame. It should come off by moving it forward a bit and lifting up. 

BTW: be careful of that slide catch. Its spring load and will take off like a rocket. 

Another BTW: Note the direction of the firing pin. If you put it back in backwards the gun will go together, but it won't feed. 

Yep, its a cheap POS gun. But the darned things are absolutely reliable and go bang every single time. I like mine.
