CAUTION: Before performing any further disassembly, take time to study how the internal

components are arranged inside the receiver.

CAUTION: Pay special attention to the position of the bolt, bolt slide and action slide bar

assembly during this portion of the disassembly, as the parts must be in the same

relationship during reassembly.

Remove the cartridge interrupter from the ejection port side and cartridge stop from

the opposite side. (It may be necessary to tap the sides of the receiver lightly to release

these parts) (Fig. 9).

Move the forearm/action slide assembly rearward so that the bolt assembly and bolt slide

are three quarters of the way rearward. When the bottom of the bolt slide is aligned with the

clearance cuts in the sides of the receiver, lift the bolt slide upward and out of the receiver

(Fig. 10).

Remove the bolt assembly by sliding it forward and out of the receiver assembly through

the barrel opening at the front of the receiver (Fig. 11-A).
