3. Use a 1/4” diameter steel rod,
punch, screwdriver shank, or
other suitable instrument insert-
ed into the hole in the rear of the
trigger guard as a lever to spring
open the trigger guard from its
latched position (See Fig. 8).
WARNING: Do not use a cartridge to unlatch the trigger guard because of the dan-
ger of loosening the bullet in the cartridge case (See Warnings in “Ammunition”
section, p. 11).

bly from stock by swinging rear
end away from action slightly,
then pull stock out of engage-
ment with gas block (See Fig.

6. Remove buffer guide rod and recoil
spring (See Figs. 11a and 11b).
CAUTION: The spring is heavily
compressed -– use eye protection
and care when disassembling and
reassembling to prevent the rod
and spring from escaping forcibly
and possibly causing injury.
NOTE: When removing the buffer
guide rod, note positioning of the
projection on its end with relation
to the buffer cross pin. The long
tongue portion of the rod (“a”)
must go under the cross pin (“b”)
in Figure 11a, at the time of
reassembly.
