TOOLS REQUIRED:
• Large Flat Blade Screw Driver
• Hex Key / Allen Wrench Set
INSTALLATION STEPS:
1. Remove action bolt from receiver. Remove original stock. Refer to manufacturer’s
instructions for the best method to remove stock. Normally the barreled action is held in
position by two screws located on the bottom of the stock. Using caution not to damage
screws, use the appropriate size and type of tool to remove the two screws (Fig. 1A).
Note: At this point the trigger guard is disconnected from the stock. For BDL models
remove bottom magazine floor plate along with magazine housing. (Fig. 1B) Remove bar-
reled action from stock. To avoid damage, take caution when removing barreled action
from original stock.

MAINTENANCE:
Do not attempt to disassemble or adjust any of the recoil mechanisms.
The internal springs have a 40,000+ round life expectancy and should not
require replacement.
As part of regular firearm maintenance apply a small amount of "plastic
safe" lubricant (not WD-40) to metal and moving surfaces. Very little lubri-
cation is required so use sparingly (1-2 drops). Do not apply lubricants to
other areas of the stock. Stocks subjected to extremes in humidity, sand,
dust, or temperature should be cleaned regularly (Use compressed air if
available) and lubricated with the appropriate lubricants for the environ-
ment. If the stock is submersed in saltwater, it should be thoroughly
rinsed in clean water and dried thoroughly (Use compressed air if avail-
able). The exterior of the stock may be wiped clean with a cloth and
cleaning products safe for plastics and rubber.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BLACKHAWK! RIFLE COMPSTOCK:
The Rifle CompStock should only be used with the specific firearm for
which it was designed. Before removing or installing the Rifle
CompStock, be sure that your firearm is unloaded and follow the assem-
bly instructions provided with this product. Check all functions of your
firearm after the stock is installed. If you do not feel competent to check
the proper function yourself have your gunsmith check this for you.
Finally, it is important to test-fire the firearm after re-installing the Rifle
CompStock, but before using it in the field to be certain it functions prop-
erly and you can handle the firearm safely.
All firearms are potentially dangerous; their improper use may cause
great harm, personal injury or death. It is your responsibility to know the
safe use, procedures and operation of your firearm, and to store, handle,
and transport your firearm safely. Proper training is available through
accredited firearms safety training programs.
