the bolt assembly is easier with the trigger group removed.
1. Reassemble the bolt and bolt slide as shown (Figure 26).
2. Align the rails on the bolt slide with the matching slots
in the bottom of the receiver and slide the bolt
assembly into the receiver, bolt slide link end first
(Figure 27). Press the carrier release button to fully
insert the bolt into the receiver.
3. Guide the bolt slide link into its socket in the recoil
spring follower (Figure 28). The socket can be seen at
the rear of the receiver cavity. It is the cupped-shaped
part that forms a recess for the bolt slide link to rest in.
Become familiar with how the slide fits into the socket.
It helps to keep the receiver pointing slightly upward to
assure that the bolt slide link does not come out of the
recoil spring follower until the barrel is reinstalled.
IMPORTANT: When your firearm is fully assembled,
if it will not function properly and the action will not
open, the bolt slide link is likely not properly placed in
the recoil spring follower socket.

When installing the bolt assembly, make sure you install it
