DISASSEMBLY OF BARREL AND RECEIVER GROUP

REMOVING THE OPERATING ROD SPRING AND

OPERATING ROD SPRING GUIDE

Warning: Removing the operating rod spring is a dangerous procedure. If not

properly held, the spring will eject the operating spring guide and could injure

you or a bystander. Wear eye protection at all times.

Place the barrel and receiver group on a flat surface, sights down, muzzle to the left. With your left hand, pull toward the muzzle on

the operating rod spring and spring guide to relieve pressure on the connector lock [see figure 15]. With your right forefinger pull or

slide the connector lock toward the operating rod handle side of the rifle [see figure 15]. Allowing the operating rod spring to expand

slowly, disconnect and remove the operating rod spring and operating rod spring guide [see figure 16]. Separate these two parts.
