Open the bolt and ensure the rifle is unloaded.
Close bolt, place the rifle ON SAFE.
Flip the latch at the back of the receiver and remove the dust cover, recoil spring, bolt and bolt carrier.
Use the tip of an FMJ bullet or a screwdriver to depress the button immediately behind the trigger guard. Push down until you hear a click. Remove the trigger assembly from the rifle.
Remove the barreled action from the stock.
By your rear sight, raise the lever 45 degrees, or one notch. Do not raise it 90 just yet.
Pull off the front handguard and gas tube. Remove the gas piston from the gas tube.
Raise the lever to the 90 degree position, but be careful. The spring the gas piston hits to operate the bolt is going to come out. And possibly very fast. Hold a towel in the action in front of the bore before the sight to catch it.
There you have it. You MUST clean this thouroughly when using corrosive ammo.
Reassemble in reverse order.
