Instructions

    • 1

      Remove the screws from the barrel clamp of the rifle. The screws are grub screws that require a small Allen wrench. Thread lock fluid might also be present, so if the bolts are stubborn, try heating them.

      Remove the old barrel and insert the new one. Make sure the new barrel fits tightly over the firing chamber extension and doesn't wobble.

      Reinsert the plug screws into the barrel clamp and seal them tightly. Make the screws as tight as you can and always be sure to check them before use.
