Takedown and Assembly

Make sure the rifle is unloaded. To remove the bolt, raise the bolt handle and pull the bolt back while depressing the bolt-stop. Disassemble the bolt by first removing the bolt head. This is done by turning the bolt head so the ejector is in line with the bolt rib. Using a cartridge, place its rim under the extractor hook, lift or tip the hook outward, and pull the bolt head from the bolt. Turn out the ejector screw to remove the ejector. Remove the extractor by pushing down on the extractor spring with a tool so the extractor can be moved back and lifted out. Lift out the extractor spring. In reassembling the extractor, first insert the extractor spring in its slot with its round end to the rear, then push the extractor down until it slips in place.

Remove the firing mechanism by pressing the safety forward and unscrewing the firing pin nut from the firing pin, after which all the parts can be removed. Reassemble in reverse order, turning the firing pin nut on as far as it will go and then backing it off until the safety engages in its notch in the nut. Remove the buttstock by first removing the buttplate; then using a long screwdriver, turn out the stock bolt. Depress the floorplate latch and remove the floorplate, follower and spring. The follower and floorplate can then be slipped off of the spring. Remove barrel bands and trigger guard screws. Next, remove the trigger guard from the forend and the forend from the barrel. The buttstock socket and the magazine box are also released at this time. Drive out the floorplate latch pin to remove the latch and spring. Drive out the sear pin to remove the sear and trigger mechanism.

Push the bolt-stop pin out toward the bottom and remove the bolt-stop and spring. Reassemble in reverse order. The narrow end of the follower spring fits into the follower.

The barrel is threaded very tightly into the receiver and cannot be easily removed, nor should it be removed unless necessary, and then only if the proper tools are available.
