3. Hold the receiver half of the rifle in one hand and

the barrel/forearm half in the other.

4. Position the receiver half in normal shooting

position (top of the receiver upward) and position

the barrel/forearm rotated until the bottom of the

forearm is on the left side, at approximately 90˚.

5. Carefully insert the threaded barrel extension fully

into the receiver until the faces on the receiver half

and the barrel/forearm half are lightly touching. At

this point the barrel extension is fully inserted. The

interrupted threads on both the barrel extension

and in the receiver allow you to attach the

barrel/forearm to the receiver.

6. With the barrel extension inserted, turn the

barrel/forearm counterclockwise 90˚ to tighten the

connection (Figure 6). Very little force should be

required to turn the barrel/forearm assembly into its

proper position.

WARNING: IF THE BARREL/FOREARM WILL NOT
TURN WITH RESPECT TO THE RECEIVER DO NOT APPLY
EXTRA FORCE. CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE ACTION
IS COMPLETELY OPEN AND THE BARREL LOCK IS SLID
FULLY FORWARD. APPLYING FORCE WITH THE BOLT
CLOSED COULD DAMAGE THE ACTION.
