Rifle Disassembly (Field Stripping the Rifle)

WARNING!

Wear eye protection, such as shooting glasses or goggles when

disassembling your firearm to protect your eyes from tensioned parts, such as

springs, that could be dislodged during disassembly.

WARNING! Before beginning the disassembly process, check to ensure the

firearm is unloaded. To do so, follow the procedures detailed previously in

this manual.

1. To disassemble the rifle for cleaning and maintenance, first ensure the rifle is unloaded, by

removing the magazine and pulling the operating handle rearward to ensure there is no

ammunition in the chamber. Set the magazine aside, as it must be out of the rifle during the

disassembly process.

2. Press in on the receiver cover retainer button, located at the top rear of the rifle’s receiver,

while simultaneously lifting up on the receiver’s top cover and removing it. (See Illustration

#11.)

3. Slide the recoil spring guide and spring forward, out of their notch in the rear of the receiver,

and remove. (See Illustration #12.)

With the receiver retainer button depressed,
