Owner’s Manual 2016

From now on, do not pull the trigger : the hammer would again be

positioned at its (raised) decocked position.

❖

While pushing down on the barrel support lock, release the

barrel support and upper rail group by moving it slightly

forward and then slide it completely out of the frame.

❖

Release the moving parts group by pushing it forward (via the

magazine opening) and then carefully slide it completely out

of the frame.

5. FIELD STRIPPING

5.1. Disassembling the carbine

It is very important to become familiar with the field stripping procedure of

the carbine as field stripping is required during the cleaning and lubrication

procedure which ensures reliable operation of the carbine.

❖

Carry out the safety checks (refer to § 4.1).

❖

If not already done, remove the magazine and completely

unload the carbine (refer to § 4.5).

❖

Pull the cocking handle completely rearward and then release

it.

This operation is necessary because it is only possible to remove the

moving parts group and the hammer group when the hammer is at the

(lowered) cocked position.

Before handling the FN PS90

Carbine, ensure to be

familiar with the safety information given in chapter 1 of this

owner’s manual.
