1. Make sure your rifle is completely unloaded and the “safety” is in the
on safe position.
2. Use a #2 cross tip or Phillips screwdriver to remove the recoil pad at
the end of the buttstock (Figure 9). Place a small amount of petroleum
jelly on the screw access slits on the top and bottom of the rear of the
buttstock to prevent damaging the recoil pad. Insert the screwdriver
into each of the two access holes. Make certain the tip of the
screwdriver engages the head of the screw. Turn the screw
counterclockwise until the screw is completely loose from the stock.
When both screws are free, remove the recoil pad and recoil pad base.
3. Install the new recoil pad to fit the rifle to your specifications. After
making an adjustment hold the rifle to your shoulder to determine if
the new length feels comfortable. Remember to always keep the muzzle
pointed in a safe direction, the “safety” in the on safe position and
make certain the rifle is completely unloaded.
4. When you are satisfied with the length of pull, start the screws through
the pad and recoil pad base into the holes in the stock.
5. Attach the recoil pad to the stock using the screwdriver. Turn the
screws clockwise to tighten. Do not overtighten the screws.
16. MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
BEFORE MOUNTING A SCOPE, SIGHT OR OTHER
ACCESSORIES ON YOUR RIFLE, PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN
THE ON SAFE POSITION. EJECT THE MAGAZINE, OPEN THE
ACTION AND MAKE CERTAIN YOUR RIFLE IS COMPLETELY
UNLOADED. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE
DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
The FNAR is fitted with four MIL-STD 1913-pattern mounting rails to attach
various accessories to the rifle. When installing accessories, follow the
manufacturers mounting instructions.
17. STOCK ADJUSTMENT
BEFORE PERFORMING STOCK ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES,
PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. EJECT

The FNAR includes three recoil pads of different length, three combs of
different height, and six shims to fine-tune cast and drop (shim 2 is on the
rifle from the factory). These accessories allow the stock to be adjusted to fit
the size of the operator.

pad is installed on the rifle from the factory. To install a recoil pad perform
