The barrel take-up adjustment feature is designed
to maintain a tight barrel-to-receiver fit and
accommodate wear. If, after extensive shooting and
repeated removal and installation of the
barrel/forearm, you detect some play in this
connection, you can adjust the fit by following the
procedure below.
1. Remove the barrel/forearm assembly as explained
on page 4 and set the receiver half aside.
2. Locate the adjustment screw lock screw on the
barrel/forearm half of the rifle (Figure 8).
Using a standard screwdriver, turn the screw
counterclockwise to loosen it until it clears the
adjusting screw lock.
