Manual

CAUTION: Do not trip the carrier latch
and let the bolt fly home when the gas piston
bar is removed. The operating handle of the
bolt will slam into the front of the receiver
and damage it. If you wish to close the bolt
at this time, make sure you hold onto the
operating handle and let the bolt very slowly
ride forward until the operating handle rests
against the forward edge of the ejection port.
You are now ready to wipe out the maga-
zine tube and clean the components. The gas
piston and gas cylinder plug are bronze. If
you decide to scrub these components with a
brush, be sure you use a typical brass bore
cleaning
type brush and not a steel brush or
any other type that will scratch these com-
ponents.
Use a good quality powder solvent, such as
Browning Liquid Gunsmith, to clean the gas
system components. Do not use gun oil. This
will collect foreign matter. Keep these com-
ponents clean and dry.
Reassemble the gas system components in
the exact order as you removed them. Pay
