1. Remove the magazine from the pistol. To do so, follow the procedures detailed in the

Unloading the Pistol section on page 9.

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

Illustration #5.)

3. Check the pistol's chamber to ensure it does not contain a round by pulling back on the

bolt cocking handle (See Illustration #4) and locking it in place with the bolt catch on the

safety lever. (See Bolt Catch on page 7.) Inspect the chamber to ensure it is empty. Once you

determine the chamber is empty and no magazine is in the pistol, push down on the safety

lever and let the bolt go forward.

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

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

receiver with one hand, depress the spring loaded release button on the rear of the receiver.

While holding the button, press the recoil spring cam forward. Then raise the receiver cover

from the back end first with your other hand. (See Illustration #11.)

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

receiver with one hand and pressing on the back of the recoil spring cam with your other

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 #12.)

NOTE: The recoil spring assembly is under spring pressure. Hold on to the assembly

when removing it or injury could result.
