rotate it fully counterclockwise, approximately 60°.

Remove the bolt end cap to the rear.

4. Grasp the cocking indicator and pull rearward to

remove the firing pin. Note the orientation of the

firing pin as it is crucial to have it positioned the

same way during reassembly. It is not necessary or

recommended that you disassemble the firing pin

assembly beyond what is shown in Figure 11.

5. Slide the bolt handle sleeve rearward and off the bolt.

The bolt is now disassembled to the extent necessary to

perform cleaning and lubrication. A light coat of oil or

grease on the bolt, including the bolt lug and guide rails

is all that is necessary to lubricate the bolt. Do not

disassemble the bolt beyond what is shown in Figure 11.
