3 Clean all oil, grease and dirt from the receiver or barrel and from
the scope base parts.
4 If mounting the scope to the receiver remove the filler
screws from the top of the receiver using a small, thin-bladed,
gunsmithing-type screwdriver.
If mounting the scope to the barrel remove the rear sight using a
small, thin-bladed gunsmithing-type screwdriver to remove the rear
sight screws.
5 Position the bases on the receiver or on the barrel.
6 Insert screws of the appropriate length to ensure proper thread
engagement through the base and screw them into the receiver or
barrel using the correct tool. Be careful to assure that the screws
properly engage to prevent stripping the receiver or barrel threads.
Many gunsmiths find it helpful to use a drop of serviceable thread
locking compound to assure the screws stay tight.
7 Tighten the screws snugly, but do not overtighten.
8 Mount your scope rings and scope as outlined in the instructions
supplied with your scope rings and/or scope. Always make sure you
have the proper eye relief.
TAKEDOWN MODELS
BEFORE TAKING DOWN OR ASSEMBLING YOUR RIFLE, MAKE SURE YOUR
RIFLE IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. REMOVE THE MAGAZINE, CHECK THE
ACTION AND CHAMBER FOR CARTRIDGES. ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
Some BLR rifles can be broken down into two halves for compact
transport or storage. Functionally, the takedown models are identical
to the standard models. Perform the following procedure to take your
rifle down.
