Winchester 1885 Book?

Have both of Campbell's books on the 1885 single-shot, but would like a book that is more oriented on the gunsmithing end of things. While Campbell's books have good photo's and discriptions, there are no details on the steps to disassemble and reassemble. You know how we kids are............have to take everything apart. But, don't want springs flying around and don't want to screw something up. Any suggetions? Thanks.

Also by De Haas, Mr. Single Shot's Gunsmithing Guide.  Has a chapter on redoing Highwalls to whatever configurations you want.

Thanks. Was able to pick the first De Haas book for $20 from eBay and the second as a .pdf download for $5. Can't beat that when all the other sources I found were asking $95 and $150, and up, for each of these out-of-print books.
