ROCEDURE

When your rifle is fully assembled use this procedure

to take it down into its two parts.

COMPLETELY UNLOAD YOUR RIFLE BY REMOVING
ALL CARTRIDGES FROM THE MAGAZINE, CHAMBER
AND FEED AREAS AS EXPLAINED IN YOUR MODEL
1895 OWNER’S MANUAL. MAKE SURE YOUR RIFLE
IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

PLACE THE “SAFETY” IN THE “ON SAFE” POSITION.
PLACE YOUR RIFLE OVER A PADDED SURFACE
SUCH AS A TABLE TO PREVENT DAMAGE SHOULD
THE RIFLE BE DROPPED DURING DISASSEMBLY.

1. Open the bolt completely by working the finger

lever downward and fully forward as explained

in your Model 1895 owner’s manual. The

barrel/forearm will not separate from the receiver

unless the action is opened. Failure to do this can

damage bolt components if you attempt to remove

the barrel/forearm by force with the bolt closed.

2. Slide the barrel lock forward towards the muzzle of

the rifle (Figure 2).

3. Grasp the receiver of the rifle with one hand and

hold the forearm with the other hand.

4. With the rifle oriented with you looking from

the receiver toward the barrel/forearm, turn the

barrel/forearm assembly clockwise 90˚ (Figure 3).

This unlocks the barrel threads from the matching

threads in the receiver.

5. Pull the barrel/forearm forward, removing the

threaded barrel extension from the receiver

(Figure 4).
