To disassemble your ARX 160 first ensure it is unloaded, with
the chamber empty. Insert an empty magazine and pull the
bolt to the rear by the bolt handle to lock the bolt in the open
position. Then:
• Remove the magazine.
• Close the bolt pulling the bolt handle rearward and releasing
it.
• Fold the stock or the end cap to the right side of the firearm
(Fig. 9 and 10).
• Grasp the firearm with one hand on the upper receiver and
with the other hand on the pistol grip.
• Turn the safety selector to the DISASSEMBLE position. This
is done by rotating the safety selector past the SAFE position.
Selector must be held in the DISASSEMBLE position during
disassembly as it is spring loaded. (Fig.
TO COME)
• Press the guide rod block in and pull the pistol grip away
from the upper receiver to separate them. (Fig. 11).
• Let the guide rod block slide out of the upper receiver.
• To separate the bolt group from the receiver you first have to
take out the bolt handle (Fig. 12).
• As there is no longer tension on the mainspring, the bolt
handle is unlocked and you simply have to extract it from the
bolt. Now you will be able to slide the complete bolt group
out of the rifle/pistol (Fig. 13).
• Look down the barrel so that you can see completely through
the barrel to ensure there are no obstructions.
