Dear Art:
When you said pistol permit, it rang a bell since I also reside in New York.
I posted information on a Stenda I recently purchased above under "New Collectors Board". You may want to read and see the pictures.
It is my understanding that these two pistols are basically the same pistol except that the Stenda is a commercial model had an improved take down. Do a search of Stenda and you will find the information on your gun by Jan Still.
I am not sure how to field strip your Menta but I learned the hard way with my Stenda. Luckily all parts were found.
There are others on this board that own Menta's and are in a better position to answer your question.
However, here are my two bits worth.
There is a hole on the left side of the receiver. I would think that you would need to insert a drill or small wood dowel into the hole to release the barrel. Once that is done, you would pull the slide back and lock the safety on the slide to hold the slide open. Once that is done I would guess you would need to push the barrel backwards towards the rear of the pistol and lift it out of the slide.
HOWEVER, BEFORE LET THE SLIDE GO FORWARD PULL THE TRIGGER TO TAKE THE SPRING PRESSURE OFF THE FIRING PIN SPRING!! Then pull the slide forward and off the receiver.
Do the reverse to assemble. Hope this information helps and the best of luck.
Art, this is only a guess and I would suggest that you confirm this when someone answers your question who knows the exact procedure on a Menta pistol.
Regards,
George
