Hello, I have a AB-10 intratec 9mm. The action handle broke off of it and im trying to figure out how to take it apart so I can get a new handle for it. The "takedown" button in the back wont depress so Im not sure how to get it to come apart... Any ideas? Thanks

    there is a pin in the front of the mag well, it must be removed first, then the receiver comes out to the front, but warning: it is under pressure be careful, then the bolt will be able to be removed

    push out the front pin,might need alittle hammer,once out lift up and seperate..then you can use a quarter to unscrew the back..slide the springs and bolt backward and remove junk,then install new handle....then put it back together...did you find one(handle)? sksparts.com has them,better get two they break ofthen,and a fireing pin and recoil buffer.

    Thanks! It popped right apart. I was going about it all wrong. Thanks again!!

    I went to a gunsmith today and he is suppose to call me tomorrow with a price for the handle. Hopefully he doesnt rape me. So this is a common problem? Is there any way to correct this issue? Thanks!

    Buy a better gun next time. Intratec guns are garbage, they look cool but function poorly. The only ammo that seems to work well in those are the aluminum case Blazers. The lighter casing ejects easier.

    I know the intratec isnt that great of a gun. But its cheap fun. I got it from a buddy of mine, and he has had it for 6 years without any problems besides this handle breaking twice now. never even jams. Its always had Winchester 115grn. target full metal jacket ammo through it. It seems to like em alot...

    I only paid $75 for the stainless gun, and 200rnds of ammo. You cant tell me thats not worth it!! Cheap cheap fun!!

    Thanks to all for the help!!
