That is funny. Broomhandle is a nightmare to strip down as well. There are no screws holding it together and it is like a puzzle. I was going to strip mine down to inspect, clean and oil it and couldn't figure out the trick so I watched an online tutorial -- after which I decided it was just too complicated for me to mess around with and decided if I was going to sell it I'd get a better price on a complete pistol than a bucket full of parts I couldn't put back together.
