5. Install the recoil spring assembly on the pistol by holding the forward portion of the receiver

with one hand, and with your other hand, insert the recoil spring retainer into the bolt

carrier channel. Move the recoil spring cam forward, placing its guide lugs in front of the

grooves in the receiver rear plate. Depress the recoil spring cam until its guide lugs are aligned

with the channel on the top of the receiver rear plate. Release pressure on the recoil spring

cam which will allow it to move rearward and lock into the receiver.

6. To install the receiver cover on the pistol, begin by rotating the rear sight upward so that it is

out of the way. Hold the pistol by the forward portion of the receiver with your one hand and

with your other hand insert the front edge of the receiver cover into the groove in the back of

the rear sight base. Press the back end of the receiver cover forward and downward with the

heel of your hand until the recoil spring cam slides back into place and locks the receiver

cover down.

7. Release the hammer by pulling the trigger and move the safety lever to the "SAFE" position.

Cleaning the Pistol

WARNING!

Before beginning the cleaning process, check to ensure the pistol is

unloaded. (See the Unloading the Pistol section on page 9.)

WARNING! You should wear eye protection, such as shooting glasses or goggles,

when cleaning your firearm to protect your eyes from tensioned parts, such as

springs, that may become dislodged during disassembly.

3. Make sure that the hammer is cocked (locked underneath the sear) before attempting to install

the bolt carrier.

4. Install the bolt carrier and bolt back into the receiver by holding the forward portion of the

receiver with one hand and with your other hand take the bolt and bolt carrier as shown in

Illustration #16 ensuring that your thumb is placed on the back of the bolt to hold it fully

forward. Insert the gas piston into the gas tube end and align the back face of the bolt carrier

with the inside face of the back plate of the receiver. Using the heel of your one hand, depress

the bolt carrier against the pressure from the hammer spring so that the guide grooves on the

sides of the bolt carrier are aligned with the rails on the receiver and move the bolt carrier to

its fully forward position. (See Illustrations #17 - #19.)

4. Dampen the brush with gun cleaning solvent and then push the brush through the barrel

several times.

5. Remove the brush and attach a correctly sized cloth cleaning patch to the cleaning rod and
