on a flat surface and depress the firing pin until the notch in the
firing pin is aligned with the hole in the bolt shaft for the firing
pin stud.

tension on the firing pin. Ensure the firing pin stud is centered.

insert into the gas tube opening in the receiver.

the end with the charging handle notch enters first, notch facing
