Here is how to field strip a Norinco Model 77B pistol. This gun has a few quirks, but overall is pretty simple to work with.
First, you must remove the lefts side grip panel (control side).
Second, rotate the safety 90 degrees down.
Third, pull slide to rear and lift off from the back.
The major quirk on reassembly is just jiggling the piston into the gas cylinder. The “trick” is understanding there is a shoulder INSIDE the cylinder that must also be cleared. Once done, the slide retracts as normal.
Neat gun. But obviously not designed by folks with practical experience with handguns. And absolutely zero field experience.
Sincerely,
