Cleaning The Lower Receiver

Clean all areas of Powder Fouling, Corrosion, Dirt and Rust. Again, never use a wire brush or any type of

abrasive to clean the Aluminum Lower Receiver.

Wipe any dirt from the Trigger Mechanism. Carefully clean the Magazine Release Button and the cavity for

the Magazine Catch on the left side of the Receiver. Also inspect and clean the Bolt Catch Mechanism and

Receiver’s Takedown and Pivot Pins. Clean the Buffer, Action Spring, and inside the Lower Receiver

Extension (the Buffer Tube). A rag attached to the Cleaning Rod and Patch Holder can be used to wipe

inside the Buffer Tube.

If rifle has been used in very dirty/muddy conditions, the Vent Screw in the fixed Buttstock (shown) or the Vent

Hole in the Telestock Receiver Extension may need to be cleaned out. Use a Pipe Cleaner or piece of wire to

ensure that Vent Hole is clear.

Telescoping Buttstocks may require cleaning as necessary. Telescoping Stock Latch can be pulled down

to remove Stock. Clean the 6-Position Lock Holes, and lightly lube the Receiver Extension and Latch

Mechanism to ensure proper telescoping action. Solid Buttstocks may require cleaning / lubrication of

Storage Compartment Door Latch (if present) and Hinge, and interior of Storage Compartment.
