3. Remove Firing Pin Stop (Fig. 2 red arrow).

4. Lift out Firing Pin and the Rebound Spring and Support (Fig 3).

5. Push down and hold the Extractor Plunger (Fig. 4 red arrow). Rotate the top of the
Extractor to where the hook is trying to touch the bolt face (Fig. 4 blue arrow), to
make the bottom of the Extractor appear . Slide the Extractor sideways at 90 degrees
to remove (Fig. 4 green arrows). You may want to hold the bolt so the green arrows
point at the ground to allow gravity to help remove it.

2. Push the Extractor down on the Plunger until the tip of the Extractor touches the
bolt face (Fig. 6 red arrow), then push the Extractor in to lock it into place (Fig. 6 blue
arrow).

4. Install the Firing Pin so that the end of the Rebound Spring is touching the part
sticking out below the Firing Pin (Fig. 7 red lines).
5. Install the Firing Pin Stop by pushing forward on the Firing Pin to line up the holes.
6. Install the Recoil Spring Assembly with the curved end matching the curve of the
bolt.
