The first step is to clear the fire. When we remove the magazine, we can lock the bolts of the rear. You can do that manually or leaving the magazine in pulling. You can visually inspect the chamber and stick your finger in it. You should satisfy that the fire is empty. You're ready to disassemble. Step 2. After we ensure the gun was clear, is to remove the handguard. Have a screw on handguard cap. Remove it. Slide the handguards forward. They'll separate. Set them aside. Step 3 will be to remove the knurled lock nut and the gas regulator. Spring. Step 4 will be barrel removal. We'll pull the bolt to the rear slightly, jiggle wiggle the barrel and it will come right out. Remove the butt pad using a Phillips head screwdriver. Try to screw it all the way back to where the screw comes through the rubber. The pad will be ready to clear when both of them are out. This allows access to the take down bolt that's inside the void of the buttstock. We'll be separating the upper and lower receivers. They're held together by upper receiver retention bolt. It's in the void of the buttstock. It's a recessed 6mm hole. We're using an Allen type bit. We're going to loosen it roughly four turns. It's tightened. One, two, three, four. We'll take the ratchet off. We're going to be using the extension and the bit that's down in the bolt as a disassembly tool. It's slightly tapping. It's starting to separate. It's about 8th of an inch. I'm going to use the ratchet again. Go to two full turns. Tap it again. It should be almost clear. Turn the bolt out beforehand. The bolt and the bearing plate. Now we have the upper and the lower to come apart. They're tapered at the front. No take down pin. You have to go forward far enough to clear the tenon at the rear. The bolt needs to be pulled slightly to the rear to separate the two. The hole for the tenon. The tenon on the upper and the threaded hole that the retention bolt goes in. Now step seven will be disassembling the bolt handle from the bolt so we can separate the bolt carrying the bolt from the upper receiver. Put a little tension on the recoil spring where the bolt body will move. There is a crescent cut on the bolt body. If it's centered right over the bolt handle, you can pull the bolt handle out. There's also a small disassembling notch on the edge of the bolt handle that you can pry. I'm not going to pry because I don't want to run the finish on the receiver. I'm just going to pull it out. I have to wiggle a little bit sometimes. The rest of it should be fine. Slide the part. Re-call spring. Bokeless right off the carrier. Guns disassembled. It can be cleaned.
