5 Align the barrel extension with the top of the receiver and place
the gas bracket over the magazine tube (Figure 8). The barrel
extension should slip solidly into the receiver. Make sure the push
rod moves freely in its slot in the receiver.
6 Replace the forearm by sliding it onto the magazine tube and over
the gas bracket so it seats securely. Make sure the Speed Lock lever
is fully closed. It may be necessary to push rearward on the
forearm slightly to ensure the forearm is locked in place. When the
forearm is in place and the Speed Lock lever is fully locked, the
release button is flush with the surface of the forearm (Figure 9).
ALWAYS ENSURE THE FOREARM IS FULLY LOCKED AND THE SPEED LOCK
LEVER RELEASE BUTTON IS FLUSH WITH THE SURFACE OF THE FOREARM.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY,
DEATH OR DAMAGE TO YOUR FIREARM.
