6.1 Removing the bolt assembly
- Unload the rifle (see chapter 5).
- Pull the bolt assembly all the way back.
- Push down and hold the bolt stop pin
(fig. 10) and simultaneously withdraw
the bolt assembly backwards with the
other hand.
Note: A number of short-case calibers
(.222 Rem., .22-250, .243 Win., 6x62
Frères, 6.5x55, 6.5x57, 7x57, 7.5x55,
.308 Win. and 8x57 IS) have a moving
bolt stop integrated into the magazine
on the right hand side. To remove the
bolt assembly from the rifle if you are
using one of the above calibers:
- Press the right magazine lip inwards.
This puts the short-case bolt stop out
of operation.
- Pull the bolt backwards until the
normal bolt stop takes effect.

pin (fig. 10) and simultaneously
withdraw the bolt assembly backwards
with the other hand.
6.2 Installing the bolt assembly
- Push the magazine down to the
bottom of the receiver and hold it
there.
- Carefully position the ends of the two
slide rails onto the rear end of the
receiver in line with the bolt guide.
- Push the bolt assembly forward to fit
into the guide on the receiver.
- Do not use force when doing this! If
the bolt assembly does not slide on
smoothly, try again taking more care.
