Manual

1. Remove the bolt assembly completely from your rifle as

explained in your Model 70 owner’s manual. The barrel will not

separate from the receiver unless the bolt is opened/removed.

2. Pull the locking lever downward fully (see Figure 2). This

retracts the locking pin from a matching recess in the action.

3. Grasp the barrel half firmly with one hand and the receiver

firmly with the other.

4. Turn the barrel assembly counterclockwise 60 degrees. This

unlocks the barrel threads from the matching threads in the

receiver.

WARNING: IF THE BARREL SECTION WILL NOT

TURN WITH RESPECT TO THE RECEIVER DO NOT

APPLY EXTRA FORCE UNTIL YOU CHECK AGAIN

TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FIRST REMOVED THE

BOLT FROM THE RECEIVER. APPLYING UNDUE

FORCE WITH THE BOLT STILL LOCKED IN THE

ACTION COULD DAMAGE THE ACTION.

5. Pull the barrel section forward and out of the action.

6. The barrel is now removed from the receiver and you are

holding the two halves of your rifle. Your rifle is now fully taken

down (refer to Figure 3).

7. To case or store your rifle in the two halves first return the

locking lever to its upward position, flush with the bottom of the

forearm. Then reinsert the bolt into the receiver and close it.

NOTE:

It is possible to separate the barrel half from the receiver

half without removing the bolt completely. However, the bolt

must be in the opened position and pulled fully rearward.

Taking down your rifle in this way must only be done after you

have become completely familiar with your rifle. This is to

avoid inadvertently attempting to take down the rifle with the

bolt still in place and locked closed and causing damage to the

bolt or other components.

RE-ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

If your rifle is taken-down into its two component parts follow these

instructions for re-assembly and for preparing your rifle for use.

MAKE SURE YOUR RIFLE IS COMPLETELY

UNLOADED. ASSURE THAT ALL CARTRIDGES ARE

REMOVED FROM THE MAGAZINE, CHAMBER AND

FEED AREAS AS EXPLAINED IN YOUR MODEL 70

MANUAL. MAKE SURE YOUR RIFLE’S MUZZLE IS

POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

Fully taken down, ready for casing or storage
