43. Disassembling the Bolt Carrier. The bolt carrier is not normally disassembled, except
for the replacement of defective or damaged components, since the carrier key is sealed to the
carrier and the securing screws are heavily staked in position. However, should disassembly be
required, unscrew the two socket head screws with a hexagonal bit socket on a socket wrench
and separate the carrier key from the carrier. See Figure 3-2-34.
