4. While the receiver is still upside down, the internal parts of the receiver can be
removed by pulling up on the recoil spring guide and springs. (See PICTURE #3)
It may be helpful to use the flat-blade screwdriver to take pressure off the recoil
spring guide before lifting the recoil spring guide out of the receiver. The recoil
spring guide is under spring tension so care should be taken when the spring guide
clears the receiver. After removing the recoil spring guide and springs the firing pin
pilot and spring will come out of the hole in the rear of the receiver.
5. Holding the bolt forward with the firearm upside down point the muzzle upwards
so that the hammer slides free of the bolt handle. Remove the bolt handle from
the hole in the top of the receiver or from the side on the M1. The bolt can now be
removed from the receiver by sliding the bolt all the way to the rear and lifting it
clear of the receiver.
6. Further disassembly of the frame is not normally required for routine cleaning. A
light coat of oil on pivot points and sliding surfaces between the bolt and receiver
is recommended. (See PICTURE #4)
