8. DISASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE (Cont’d)
• Use a 3/32” hex wrench and insert it into the side of the Bolt Guide Cap.
Turn counterclockwise until the Bolt Guide Cap is completely removed.
• Remove the Poppet Spring, being careful not to lose the spring.
• Use a non-metallic item that will not scratch the Bolt Guide internal surfaces and cause
leaking. Push the Poppet out the back of the Bolt Guide. Be careful not to damage the
Poppet front sealing face.
• Inspect and lubricate Poppet O-ring and be careful not to lubricate the front Poppet Seal.
Replacing the Poppet Seal
If there is a slight air leak evident coming through the Bolt area, the Poppet Seal may be worn
and need to be replaced. With the Poppet removed, grab the Poppet Seal with pliers and
unscrew the Poppet by hand from the Poppet Seal. Do not grab the Poppet with pliers or put
in a vice as it may damage the brass. Install the new Poppet Seal by hand. Once tightened
by hand, the Poppet will hold the Poppet Seal in place and it should not come apart
during operation.
Re-Installation of Poppet and Bolt Guide Cap
• Place Poppet into the back of the Bolt Guide and gently push forward. If installed properly,
the Poppet will be all the way forward resting on the Bolt guide internal face.
• Install the Poppet spring back into the back of the Poppet.
• Using the 3/32” hex wrench, screw the Bolt Guide Cap clockwise back into the Bolt Guide.
Screw the Bolt Guide Cap all the way in to help seat the Poppet and then turn it out one
turn. Further adjustment over a chronograph will be needed to achieve desired velocity.
Re-Installation of Main Spring, Bolt and Bolt Guide Assembly
• Slide the Main Spring onto Bolt, and then the Bolt onto Bolt Guide, so it is one assembly.
You will notice, one end of the spring is smaller and will lock onto the Bolt.
• Insert Bolt guide assembly back into the Body making sure it is locked into place.
Lid Assembly:
The Lid can be removed and changed without separating the shells. Remove the screw hold-
ing the Lid onto the shell with a 7/64” hex wrench and then the Lid Retainer. Reverse the
process for Lid installation.
Grips:
Using a 5/64” hex wrench, remove the four screws holding the grips in place.
Over tightening these screws can damage the rubber grips.
Front Grip:
Using a 7/64” hex wrench, remove the four screws and the Foregrip will separate for removal
or adjustment.
Separating Shells:
Once the parts above have been removed the shell can now be separated. The shells are
separated by loosening/removing all the shell screws.
• Using a 7/64” hex wrench; remove all the socket head screws in the left side shell.
• Remove the 3 flat head screws, located under the grips with a 5/64” hex wrench.
• The left side shell can now be slowly separated from the right, by lifting it free of
the right shell.
Note: It is not necessary to remove the Picatinny side rails to separate the shells.
