REASSEMBLY

STEP 1. Rotate barrel link forward and install the barrel

through the front of the slide.

STEP 2. Slip barrel bushing over

end of barrel, and push bushing

rearward as far as it will go. Turn

bushing clockwise to allow recoil

plug to be installed.

STEP 3. Insert recoil plug by

pushing it toward the front of

the slide (Figure 23).

STEP 4. Place the slide on a table or bench in an inverted

position (sights at bottom). Grasp the front end of slide

with your left thumb and index finger. With your right

hand, carefully compress the recoil spring assembly into

the recoil spring plug from the rear. Use your right thumb

and index finger to carefully compress the recoil spring

assembly toward the front until the guide plate can be

lowered in place just in front of the barrel lug. Make sure

barrel link is rotated back, then lower it in place. While

being careful not to allow the spring assembly to fly out,

slowly turn the slide over (recoil spring assembly at

bottom). Simultaneously wrap your left hand around

the front of the slide to keep the recoil spring assembly

from popping out.

STEP 5. Make sure the plunger lever is down (forward) at

the top of the receiver, and keep it down by tipping the

receiver forward. Wrap your fingers around the front end

of the slide to hold the recoil spring assembly in position.
