Thankfully I also have a very detailed book on the assembly of the Winchester 88 with photos and instructions.

Also if you ever take the safety apart, wear safety glasses and do it in an impeccably clean room. The spring and tiny plunger will shoot out with a lot of speed. The plunger is extremely tiny you will never find it if lost.

Greetings @Markos,
I made slave pins for mine as well, I don't know where I got the idea from. After a while the drama of taking it to bits, needing to be cleaned from the muzzle, average trigger and heavy apparent recoil from the stock with far too much drop resulted in it being sold.
