This procedure will give you the nec-
essary leverage to “break” the gas
seal which was formed when the
breech plug was originally
“snugged” to the barrel during
installation. There will be initial
resistance between these parts
which must be overcome.
8th Step - To re-assemble, reverse the above procedure, making sure that
you
check for proper functioning of the trigger, striker and safety mechanism
prior to loading and firing. The breech plug of the System 1 should be seated
in the barrel until it is “snug”. “Snug” is defined here as being as tight as you
can turn it into the barrel by using the breech plug portion of the takedown
tool and turning it clockwise, while holding the barrel in your bare hand. Do
not use both wrenches when “snugging” the breech plug.
