To answer one post, The 1st recon I dis-assembled, I ended throwing the whole thing away in frustration.
For a novice, it is best to remove all of the locks.

Then as an exercise when more experienced, indentify which part is the trigger lock and put that back inside on a rainy day.
So keep all the bits you remove for those rainy days.

The clip and trigger lock are quite visible. But there is one not so visible lock under the bolt sled,
just above where the trigger/clip locks are located, but on the bolt sled.
There are 1 or 2 small screws. Undo these, then remove the small cover, take out the small spring and plastic thing inside, then rescrew the small cover back.

The lock under the bolt-sled is responsible for locking the priming handle in the forward position once the blaster is primed,
and is a major pain in the butt, so you don't need it anyway.

Good luck.

Very well put!

Finding a replacement spring for a Recon is a non-trivial problem.

Also, don't necro shit.

"Dude i'm not just get this threw, its ok to stretch a spring if you jus starrted modding( yes it ruins it) but in later mods its replaced anyway so its no big deal end of story "

No, springs should never be stretched under any circumstances.If you want more power, replace the spring or add precompression (and even precompression screws up the spring over time).

'Yes you replace it.'

No, it's not. It just ruins your spring.

It's fine for basic AR removal, but you replace the spring anyway in full modding.

You should never stretch springs to begin with...

well streching a spring can be very bad but its great for beginer modders to do, beginers dont know what springs to get.
