CAUTION

Never rock barrel and receiver to the weapon’s front and rear. This may damage the bedding surface

and decrease accuracy.

4. Using padded vise jaws to prevent marring the stock, clamp stock in a vise forward of the recoil lug. Open the bolt to the

fully open position and grasp the barrel and bolt body. Using thumbs to apply downward pressure on the stock, pull the

barrel and receiver straight up. If necessary, rock the barreled action from side to side while lifting.
