REASSEMBLY
1. To install bolt in rifle
If any cartridge is in the chamber or the magazine,
remove it first! Orient the bolt with the handle
pointed up and to the right. Align the locking lugs
on the bolt with their races in the receiver. Viewed
from the rear, the rectangular projection of the
cocking piece must be pointing straight down (at 6
o'clock, as shown in Fig. 41. Push the bolt forward
gently into the receiver until the bolt stop snaps in
place behind it. Close the bolt and turn the handle
down to its locked position.
2. To replace stock:
Insert magazine box into receiver, open end to the
rear and notched end first. Place barreled action
assembly carefully into stock. Be certain trigger
guard is seated properly in stock. The longer
takedown screw goes behind the trigger guard.
Tighten the two takedown screws alternately until
both are snug, then tighten front screw Firmly;
finally, tighten rear screw.
WARNING!
Any time the bolt is removed and reinstalled,
do not load any ammunition into the riRe until the
following function check has been performed:
Push the safety "off". Press the trigger. The
firing pin should snap forward ("dry-Fire').
Operate the bolt again a full cycle. It should
close smoothly and turn down to lock easily,
without impediment. If either does not, the bolt
may be incorrectly assembled.
Attempting to reinstall an incorrectly
assembled bolt with a cartridge in the rifle may,
under
unusual conditions, cause the cartridge to
fire accidentally as the bolt is being closed,
without the trigger being pressed. Serious injury
to the shooter could result.
