  Karns and Traister have a book "Firearms Disassembly with Exploded Views" and the Lightning rifle is written up in it. I got mine from Amazon.com. This description is for the medium frame rifles, but should give you a general idea. I can try to send you a scan if you send me your email address. I will look in a couple of more places for the .22 frame rifle and let you know if I find anything specific. Emery
