ASSEMBLY AS A BARREL ASSEMBLY — This
is the easiest way to install your barrel on the
receiver. If your A-500’s forearm assembly is
already removed go to step 2.
Take the receiver in hand and first, lock
the breechblock rearward by pulling the
operating handle fully to the rear. Then,
remove the forearm, recoil spring and
forearm buffer from the magazine tube by
unscrewing the magazine cap and sliding
the parts forward, off of the magazine
tube.
OPEN REAR END OF THE FOREARM.
TOO MUCH PRESSURE COULD CAUSE
THE WOOD TO SPLIT.
Install the forearm on the barrel by sliding
it over the barrel ring and seating it fully
rearward .
With the barrel pointing down, insert the
recoil spring in the opening at the rear of
the forearm and let it slide forward fully in
the forearm cavity.
Insert the forearm buffer into the same
cavity in the forearm and let it slide fully
forward (See Figure 3).
NOTE: The recoil spring must always be
installed at the muzzle end of the magazine
