1 BE CERTAIN THE RIFLE IS
UNLOADED AND THE
“SAFETY” IS IN THE
“ON SAFE” POSITION.
Unload your rifle by
ejecting any live round in
the chamber by pulling
the operating handle to
the rear and locking it
open. Open the floorplate
and remove the magazine
and unload the magazine
by pushing forward on the
base of each round until it
clears the retaining lips.
With the magazine
removed and unloaded,
release the bolt to its
forward, closed position.
2 Pass a small instrument, such as a screwdriver or punch, through
the sling swivel eyelet on the forearm. Taking care not to scratch
the forearm, turn the sling swivel in a counterclockwise direction
(approximately 10 half turns will loosen the eyelet so you can
remove the forearm). Firmly grasp the forearm and slide it
forward and off.
3 Remove the action bars while the bolt is still closed. To remove the
left action bar (the side opposite the bolt handle), pull the forward
end away from its slot on the inertia piece. Then lower and pull the
action bar forward and out of the receiver (Figure 13). Remove the
right action bar by first releasing the bolt release lever spring from
the bolt release lever using a flathead screwdriver (Figure 14).
Remove the bolt release lever pin and pull the bolt release lever
forward and out of the receiver. You can then pull the forward
end of the right action bar away from the inertia piece and lower
