The case buffer protects the spent cases and also throws them in the right direction when firing. On the

underside of the cover there is a rod which holds the recoil spring. The recoil spring consists of two parts,

joined together by a splice cap. The springs are fragile, do not attempt to remove them from the cap.The

forward end of the bolt carrier has a cylindrical portion. When the bolt carrier is forward in firing mode this

part covers the rear end of the gas tube. The gas required for the functioning of the weapon is guided to the

action through the barrel’s gas cylinder and the gas tube.

• Låsstycke – Bolt carrier

• Sikte – Sight

• Gasrör – Gas tube

• Gaskanal – Gas cylinder

The front end of the barrel has a muzzle brake, basically consisting of a cylindrical part, perforated by a

series of holes. The muzzle brake reduces felt recoil.

The muzzle plug is screwed on to the muzzle. The sight holder is fastened between the plug and the sight

base. The sight holder locks the sight in place on the sight base.The muzzle plug can be removed with the

universal tool. The muzzle plug and the sight holder should not be removed when performing daily

(general) maintenance.

The cleaning rod is seated in the forend below the barrel.
