10. Replace the forearm by sliding it onto the receiver.
Be very careful with reassembly of the forearm, since
it can be broken if forced into position incorrectly.

direction until it is firmly seated into the receiver.
Do not overtighten.

wrench or by passing a small instrument, such as a

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
BEFORE CLEANING YOUR RIFLE.
C LEANING P ARTS WITH S PECIAL F INISHES —
Be especially careful when cleaning guns with camouflage,
Dura-Touch ® Armor Coating and other special finishes.
Always prevent these surfaces from coming in contact
with cleaning solvents, barrel scrubbers and other strong
chemicals. It is preferable to clean these surfaces with a
light gun oil containing no solvents or with a damp cloth
and mild dish soap (be sure to keep water out of the
action). When cleaning your firearm’s bore and action,
protect the external finishes from any contact with
chemicals used. Also avoid any contact between external
finishes and other strong chemicals like those found in
DEET-containing insect repellents, sunscreens, etc.
Damage to camouflage, Dura-Touch and other finishes
caused by chemicals is irreversible and unrepairable.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING PROCEDURES,
ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN YOUR RIFLE IS COMPLETELY
UNLOADED, THERE ARE NO CARTRIDGES IN THE
CHAMBER, ACTION/FEED AREAS AND THAT THE
MAGAZINE IS REMOVED.

6. To replace the action bars, place the bolt in its most
forward position. It is helpful to leave the magazine out
so you can attach the action bars to the bolt.
7. Place the projecting section of each action bar in its
corresponding slot in the bolt (Figure 20) before the
action bars are fit onto the inertia block. The action bars
are interchangeable. It may be necessary to pull the
inertia block slightly rearward to engage the action bars.
8. Replace the bolt lock in the receiver and align the hole
in the bolt lock with the hole in the receiver. Insert the
bolt lock pin.
