Step #3 — Unscrew takedown screws A
and B as shown in K. Separate the rifle
into two segments, the first consisting of
the stock and trigger assembly, the sec-
ond consisting of the barrel and action.
Release assembly post by squeezing and
pushing in slotted end. Pull post free of
action (See L). Remove action by sliding it
to the rear and up (See M).
Step #4 — With the action removed, the
bolt, charging handle, recoil spring and
spring guide may now be removed.
• WARNING: Recoil spring is compressed
at this point and, if not handled properly,
can fly from the receiver.
Pull the charging handle back slightly and,
with the forefinger of your other hand, lift
the muzzle end of the bolt from the receiv-
er (See N).
As you begin to lift the bolt out, the charg-
ing handle will become free and can be
removed. The recoil spring and spring
guide are now within easy reach for
removal (See O).
Step #5 — The barrel, receiver and action
are now ready for thorough cleaning. The
action should be cleaned in solvent, dried,
and oiled sparingly prior to reassembly.
