TO DISASSEMBLE
Make Sure Rifle is Unloaded!
1. With the rifle pointing in a safe direction, remove the magazine, open the bolt
and visually make certain there is not a cartridge in the chamber. Then allow
the bolt to close. The rear sight leaf should be down, and the hammer should
be cocked.
2. Remove (2) handguard adapter screws (BSR-17) and pull the handguard
assembly forward off the barrel.
3. Remove the take-down screw (B-65).
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 or safety button will be damaged.
5. Swing the barrel-receiver assembly upward out of the stock. Be careful the two
receiver cross pins (B-5) and bolt stop pin (B-46) do not fall out.

Always unload a firearm
before cleaning, lubrication,
disassembly or assembly.
UNLOAD BEFORE
CLEANING
e. Remove excess oil and solvent from all cleaned components, load the
magazine, and try the firearm again. As always, proceed slowly. Be certain
bystanders are not close and that you are wearing eye and hearing
protection and that your face is a safe distance from the rifle so that any
discharge resulting from a jammed cartridge will not injure anyone.If the
above procedures do not result in a smooth and reliably functioning firearm,
don’t use the gun. The rifle can be returned directly to our Newport, New
Hampshire Product Service Department for repair. See the Service and Parts
Policy section (p. 25) of this manual for packing and shipping information.
Another precaution: When using any firearm chambered for rimfire cartridges,
form the habit of examining fired cartridge cases. If they have bulged heads or
frequently show splits on any part of the case, the rifle or pistol should be
returned to the factory for inspection.
