buttstock from the receiver.
At this point you may add

adding spacers, make sure
the rounded end of the
spacers is installed towards
the top of the rifle (Figure

buttstock flush against the spacers or receiver and tighten in the stock
bolt. Re-attach the recoil pad with the two screws, making sure not to
scratch or mar the finish of the stock.
DISASSEMBLY
NEVER ATTEMPT TO TAKE YOUR BAR APART FURTHER THAN EXPLAINED IN
THIS OWNER’S MANUAL.
This rifle is a specialized, finely fitted mechanism. You may permanently
mar it by attempting to disassemble the inner mechanism assemblies.
Be sure to use eye protection whenever disassembling and reassembling
your BAR due to the spring-tension parts. If further disassembly for
service or cleaning is required, take your gun to a Browning
recommended Service Center or a competent gunsmith, or send it to
our Arnold, Missouri service facility as explained under “Service or
Repair” on the inside back cover.
