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
disassembled 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.
REASSEMBLY
Again, Be Sure Rifle is Unloaded!
1. Reassembly of bolt into receiver:
a. To reassemble bolt handle and bolt in the receiver, position the rear end
(cone pointed) of the recoil spring guide rod in the mating recess near
the rear right side of the receiver. The recoil spring must be flat against
the side and “bottom” of the receiver.
b. Maintain the guide rod in its proper position by keeping pressure on the
bolt handle with the left forefinger and thumb. At the same time, use the
flat side of the screwdriver blade to compress the recoil spring by drawing
it against that area of the bolt handle near to the spring. In
accomplishing this spring compression it is necessary to maintain the
same pressure on the screwdriver with the right hand as that being
maintained (rearward and inward) on the bolt handle with the left hand.
c. When the spring is fully compressed, maintain it in that position with the
left hand and with the right hand lay the recessed section of the top of
the bolt on the section of the bolt handle that mates with it. Press down
on the bolt until a ‘click’ is heard. At this point allow the bolt handle
(with bolt attached) to move forward slowly.
d. Cycle the bolt handle a few times to be certain the components are
correctly assembled.
2. Reassembly of rifle:
a. Install the bolt stop pin and then lay the trigger guard in place and install
the two receiver pins.
b. Assemble the barrel-receiver to the stock by following, in reverse order,
steps 1 through 5 under the “Disassembly” instructions on page 19.
Guns should not be stored loaded or cocked!
