2. Loosen the barrel band screw (B-69) and remove the barrel band (L06801).
3. Loosen (don’t remove) the front mounting screw (J04701).
4. Position the safety so an equal amount of the button is exposed on each side. If
the safety is not in the middle when the barrel-receiver assembly is lifted out
of the stock, the stock will be damaged.
5. Swing the barrel-receiver assembly upward away from the forearm of the
stock. Be careful the two receiver cross pins (B-5) and bolt stop pin (B-46) do
not fall out.
6. Remove the trigger guard by simply drifting out the two receiver pins. It is
recommended that the components of the trigger guard assembly not be disas-
sembled from the trigger guard.
This is the extent of disassembly required for routine inspection, cleaning and
lubrication.
If it is desired to thoroughly clean the inside of the receiver by removing the
bolt, be aware that although removing and installing the bolt (along with the
bolt handle-recoil spring assembly) is simple, it must be done correctly.
7. To remove the bolt:
a. Position the rifle upside down so the bolt is fully accessible.
b. Drift out the bolt stop pin, located at the rear of the receiver.
c. Pull the bolt handle fully to the rear of the receiver with the left hand,
and while it is in that position, using the right hand, lift up the front of the
bolt until it is disengaged from the bolt handle.
d. Remove the bolt handle assembly through the ejection port.
e. Lift bolt out of receiver. If it does not come out readily, turn the rifle over
and the bolt will drop out of the receiver.
