Normally, I'd provide disassembly for each airsoft gun I own. However, Brian @ Echo1 has provided really wonderful disassembly instruction in this YouTube video:
So, in this article, instead of duplicating Brian's work. I direct you to watch the video above for the general disassembly instruction. Instead, I will provide details that may be missing from the video and provide disassembly instructions for parts not described in the video.

Are you interested in the complete disassembly of the Echo1 Red Star IGOR parts? Take a look in our "Complete Tear Down of the Echo1 Red Star IGOR VSS Vintorez" article.
Brian did not disassemble the Echo1 Red Star IGOR magazine. I had already done it once. So here are the instructions for it.
As Brian shows in the video, three are two hex screws that holds the mock silencer onto the gun. You'll need 3mm hex wrench to remove those screws. There is a silver washer on each screw. The silver washer makes the screw a little too short. Therefore, when you put the screw back, you can do away with the washers.
When reassembling the mock silencer, if it doesn't go back all the way to the receiver, it's probably the external barrel getting caught on the orange tip. Use your finger to realign the external barrel to the tip and you'll be able to push the mock silence back in place.
