How to disassemble an SM-8 "springer" airsoft rifle.

This instructable will explain the basics of disassembliong an SM-8 single shot airsoft rifle, whether it's for basic improvements or fixing some sort of malfunction.

I'm not going to bother with a disclaimer, just don't be an ass. If you break your gun, which you won't if you follow these instructions carefully, it's your fault.

I apolagise in advance for the poor quality of photos. The lighting wasn't too good, and my camera kind of let me down.
