viewed from the indicator end) until the firing pin sear engages the

notch in the bolt handle (Figure 6, page 13). On a new rifle where

surfaces are not yet burnished from use, it may be difficult to rotate the

bolt sleeve by hand. If so, carefully grasp the firing pin sear in a padded

vise and lift the bolt handle. The A-Bolt III rifle comes packed in a

foam-padded box with the bolt removed from the rifle. To install the

bolt into the receiver perform the following procedure:

1 Align the front of the bolt in the rear opening of the receiver.

2 Push the bolt completely forward and rotate the handle down to

lock it. It is not necessary to depress the bolt stop to insert the bolt,

but you may do so to ease the installation

(Figure 7)

is now completely assembled and may be operated normally.
