carrier. Push the bolt assembly into the carrier
as far as it will go and then insert the firing pin
into the back of the bolt carrier, being sure the
half moon shaped cut is facing up. If it does not
go in all the way, the cam pin or the bolt may
not be inserted correctly. Insert the firing pin
pin into the bolt carrier from the left side. DO
NOT FORCE THE FIRING PIN PIN. If it does not
go in easily check that the firing pin is installed
correctly. Check the operation of the bolt and
firing pin to be sure that they move freely.
Pistol assembly
With the grip folded, rest the pistol on its left
side. Take the bolt carrier assembly, pull the
bolt out as far as it will go and twist the recoil
spring tube so that the lock tab is at the top of
the bolt carrier. Insert the carrier from the rear
of the receiver, be sure not to twist the bolt
tube or push in the bolt as you insert it. Align
the operating handle hole in the carrier with the
cut-out in the receiver and insert the operating
handle. Push the carrier up slightly so that the
operating handle aligns with the slot for it and
the recoil spring tube is parallel with the barrel
of the pistol.
NOTE: It is not recommended that you
disassemble the grip of the PLR-16
pistol; the hammer spring is constantly
under tension and can easily injure you
or others.
ASSEMBLY
Bolt carrier assembly:
To install the piston head, recoil spring tube,
and recoil spring, insert the recoil spring into
the recoil spring tube. Slide the recoil spring
tube with recoil spring onto the piston rod.
Align the holes in the recoil spring tube with the
hole in the piston rod. Push the piston head
onto the recoil spring and onto the piston rod.
Insert the firing pin or similar tool into the piston
head hole to temporarily hold the piston head in
place. While slowly pulling out the firing pin,
push in the piston pin from the other side until it
is flush with the piston head. Twist the recoil
spring tube so that the locking tab points
towards the top of the bolt carrier. Check the
operation of the recoil spring by lightly pulling
on the recoil spring tube to compress the
spring.
To install the bolt, cam pin, firing pin, and firing
pin pin, insert the bolt into the front of the bolt
carrier. Twist the bolt so that the extractor is
on the right side of the carrier and the cam pin
hole in the bolt lines up with the cam pin slot in
the bolt carrier. Insert the cam pin into the hole
in the bolt, be sure that the tab on the cam pin
is pointing straight out the left side of the bolt
