Tips:
Note that the hammerpivot has one flat side. Be sureboth of the
nylon hammer spring supportsare oriented so that their flat sides
line up with the flat surfaceon the pin. Do not force the pin through
or damagewill occur to the nylon bushings.
When replacing the sear/disconnector
assemblybe sure the lower end of the sear
spring goestoward the rear, down the
slope of the trigger.

When installing the outer magazinetube, be sure it is fully to the

rear and the groove in its upper flange is aligned with the cross
pin hole in the hangerbefore inserting the crosspin. Using a non marring hammer gently
tap it into place.

When driving the firing pin stop pin on the left side of the bolt, the extractor pivot pin may
fall out. Insert the bolt handle temporarily to stop this.

When replacing the bolt spring and guide, use a small screwdriver to push in the spring in
small increments,while keeping pressureon the plunger. When the rear tip of the plunger is
in the spring hole, restrainthe plunger with a fingertip while inserting the bolt and then the
bolt handle. Be sure the plunger restsin the recessof the bolt correctly.
