5) Install the magazine. Grasp the carbine in the left hand with the sights downward.
Insert the forward portion of the magazine into the well of the stock until it makes contact
with the barrel, then slide it along the barrel until the magazine lug engages the catch on
the barrel. Lower the rear portion of the magazine into the receiver.
6) Install the trigger mechanism. Cock the hammer and put the safety on. Grasp the
carbine in the left hand with sights downward. Position the ends of the dowel into the
notches of the forward pillar of the receiver and push the trigger housing forward and
downward. Strike on the trigger guard with the palm of the right hand (Figure 15), so that
the latch seats in its opening. After installing the trigger mechanism, take the carbine off
safe and check to ensure that the trigger mechanism is firmly held by the latch on the
receiver. Place the carbine on safe.
Figure 15: Installing the trigger mechanism
You must not install the trigger mechanism with the safety in the lower [off] position,
because this will damage the trigger mechanism latch.
7) Install the driving rod with spring. Rotate the gas tube lock upward. Install the spring

the guide rod with a finger of the left hand, and rotate the gas tube lock downward with
the right hand until it reaches the detent at the upper edge of the channel.
