Great Exploded View!!!! For now I think you are missing a few pics.

I happen to have these from a recent cleaning.

This is very informative. Now I dont have to cheat when I clean my fcg. I rinse with water and mild soap (per manual) hit with compressed air then hit with hoppes... lots of hoppes and let sit for 20. The hit with air again. Then another oiling in certain spots. Lol.

Nice!
