provide a link or some insight of how not to damage taking it off
Thanks

I assume you're asking about the rear latch.

It's pretty simple. You need to move (compress) the mainspring enough to remove the small keeper pin that goes through the sliding latch. The spring rests in a groove in the pin and acts as a retainer for the pin, somewhat similar to the way that hammer & trigger pins are retained. Once the small pin is out, the latch just slides out leaving the mainspring (under compression) in the trunnion. Take care not to launch it as you remove it.

That also helps, however i needed to be more specific, the latch on the front the the receiver that is attached to the front trunnion

Similar situation, the spring that keeps the latch tight also passes along a groove in the pivot pin. It's the long leg of the spring, at the bottom of the receiver.. once again, just like a hammer / trigger pin.

BTW - take a look at the sticky, top of the Krinkov forum ;-)
