1. Remove the magazine from the pistol. (See Illustration #7.)

2. Move the safety lever to the "FIRE" position by rotating the safety lever downward.

3. Check the pistol's chamber to ensure it does not contain a round. (See Illustration #11.)

4. While maintaining a safe muzzle direction, remove the receiver cover by holding the pistol in a

secure position (across your lap, resting on a table, etc.) and grasping the forward part of the

pistol grip with your right hand. Press the recoil spring cam forward and into the hole on the

rear of the receiver cover with your right thumb. Then raise the receiver cover from the back

end first with your left hand. (See Illustration #12.)

5. Remove the recoil spring assembly from the pistol by holding the forward portion of the

receiver with your left hand and pressing on the back of the recoil spring cam with your right

hand until its rear face leaves the groove in the rear of the receiver. Lift the recoil spring cam

and remove the recoil spring assembly from the bolt carrier channel. (See Illustration #13.)

6. Remove the bolt carrier and bolt from the pistol by holding the forward portion of the

receiver with your left hand and the cocking handle with your right hand. Pull the bolt carrier

and bolt to the rear as far as possible. Once the back of the bolt carrier contacts the back

plate of the receiver, release forward pressure on the operating handle, this will allow the bolt

carrier to move up and off the receiver rails. Lift the rear portion of the bolt carrier and

remove it and the bolt from the receiver. (See Illustration #14.)

7. Remove the bolt from the bolt carrier by turning the bolt carrier over and holding it in your

left hand. (See Illustration #15.) Rotate what is now the top of the bolt to the right and move

it rearward with your right hand so that the guide lug on the bolt leaves the channel in the bolt

carrier. You can now remove the bolt from the bolt carrier by moving it forward and out of its

guide hole.
