DISASSEMBLY

Step 2 – Remove Buttstock

Using the appropriate driver:

  1. Remove the buttstock screw.
  2. Pull the buttstock rearward and remove it from the receiver.
  3. Set the buttstock aside.

NOTE

If equipped with a Ranger Point Precision Quick Takedown Screw, remove it in place of the factory buttstock screw.

Step 3 – Position Hammer

For easier access:

  1. Place the hammer in either the half-cock or full-cock position.
  2. Ensure the hammer is clear of the receiver plug area.

Step 4 – Remove Factory Receiver Plug

Using a 5/64″ Allen key:

  1. Remove the factory retaining set screw.
  2. Carefully capture the spring beneath the screw.
  3. Remove the factory receiver plug.

IMPORTANT

Do not lose:

  • Factory retaining set screw
  • Factory spring

The kit includes a replacement detent ball, but the factory spring and retaining screw will be reused.

INSTALLATION

Step 5 – Install Receiver Plug

Orient the receiver plug correctly:

  • Smooth side faces the non-ejection port side.
  • Grooved side faces the ejection port side.
  • Groove faces rearward toward the detent ball and spring.
  1. Insert the receiver plug into the receiver from the bottom.
  2. Hold the plug fully seated during installation.

Step 6 – Install Detent Ball and Spring

  1. Insert the supplied detent ball into the detent hole.
  2. Reinstall the factory spring behind the detent ball.

Using the factory retaining set screw:

  1. Start the screw carefully by hand.

IMPORTANT

Do not overtighten the retaining screw.
