  If it is a copy of the Baby the takedown is fairly simple: ensure it is unloaded and the chamber clear, draw the slide slightly to the rear until you can grasp the barrel muzzle and rotate it 90 degrees, this releases the slide and barrel to move forward off the frame. If you can find a copy of the NRA Pistols and Revolvers Assembly Guide it will give you good schematics and directions for anything further.

  There are several minor differences between most Baby Browning clones, so yours may not exactly match schematics that you find.
  
  It may be a good idea to borrow a camera with a macro lens & take photos at all stages of disassembly. Once the grips are removed, parts start to fly off, so work slowly & carefully.
  
  It will be a lot easier if your fingers are the size of an 8 year old's.

  The Iver Johnson .25 is NOT a copy of the Baby Browning!
  The gun is a clone of the Bernardelli VP .25, and those parts should interchange. The IJ version is fairly rare.
  Disassemby is via the small button on the left/rear of the frame. Make sure the gun is not cocked, remove the magazine, and push the button.
