WARNING: If a spring or plunger become lost do not use a substitute. Springs of cor-
rect tension are vital to the safe and reliable performance of firearms. Before starting
disassembly, remove the sling, scope and rings and place the rear sight blade in its
down flat position.
DISASSEMBLY
(Rifle Must Be Unloaded Prior To Disassembly)
1. Keep the rifle pointed in a safe direction! Put the safety in the “load-unload” posi-
tion, then, remove the magazine.
2. OPEN THE BOLT AND CHECK TO BE CERTAIN THAT THE CHAMBER IS EMPTY.
3. To remove the bolt: Before starting bolt disassembly, study Figure 10, below.
Lift the bolt handle up. Depress the bolt stop on the left side of the receiver.
Remove the bolt from the rifle.
4. To disassemble the bolt:
a. While holding the bolt handle, rotate the bolt sleeve clock-wise (as viewed
from the rear of the rifle) to position shown in Figure 7.
b. Rotate the breech block until the head of the breech block retaining pin is
aligned with the larger holes in the bolt. (Figure 7).
c. Push out the breech block retaining pin by inserting a pin through the small
hole on the side opposite from the larger hole. The alignment must be precise to
remove the retainer. (Figure 7).
d. Remove the breech block assembly by sliding it forward out of the bolt
(Figure 8).
e. Insert a small pin (or suitable nail) into the “disassembly hole” in the strik-
er/cocking piece assembly to hold it in the rear position (Figure 8). NOTE: The
pin should be as close as possible in size to the hole diameter, and at least 2
inches long so that it can be used to ‘lever’ the cocking piece to the rear when
reassembling the bolt stop assembly into the bolt.
f. Unscrew the bolt sleeve (Figure 9). Remove the bolt sleeve assembly. Firing
pin can now be removed from the bolt sleeve assembly (Figure 10).
