SLIDE RELEASE BUTTON
When the slide on the BPS is
positioned fully forward it locks
into position, closing and locking
up the breechblock. In order to
open the action when the gun is
not being fired, activate the release
button. The release button is
located on the left side of the
trigger guard, at the rear, behind
the trigger (Figure 3). To release
the slide, apply rearward pressure
on the slide while simultaneously
pushing up on the slide release button. The button moves upward and
slightly to the rear when depressed.
If you are a right-handed shooter, reach under the rear of the trigger
guard — to the opposite side — with your finger and push up on the
button. Left-handed shooters simply lift up on the button with your
trigger finger. Specific uses of the slide release button are outlined below.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE BARREL
TO THE RECEIVER
The BPS is delivered, in the box, with the barrel removed and the
forearm still attached to the magazine tube.
