DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY
The Standard M1A has been designed to be taken apart and put together easily. No force is needed if it is disassembled
and assembled correctly. However, the frequency of disassembly and assembly should be kept to a minimum. Constant
disassembly causes excessive wear of the parts and leads to their early unserviceability and to inaccuracy of the rifle.
This is especially true with National Match and Super Match rifles, whose actions are glass bedded to their stocks.
Unnecessary removal promotes wear, sloppy fit, inaccuracy and defeats the purpose of the bedding. Please do not
field strip your match rifle unless it is absolutely necessary.
THE THREE MAIN GROUPS
The three main groups are the trigger housing group, the barrelled receiver group, and the stock group.
Prior to disassembly, put safety on and unload the rifle!
