WARNING! Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Make sure your firearm is completely unloaded and ensure that your workspace is void of ammunition at all times. The safety should be set to the Full Safe position. Always wear eye protection while working on a firearm.

How to Install Model 64 Chassis Kit

  1. Make sure your finger is off the trigger and out of the trigger guard.  With one hand prepared to catch the removable magazine, push the latch at the front of the magazine forward, ejecting the magazine into your hand. 
  2. Grasp the cocking handle and slowly pull the cocking handle fully to the rear. 
  3. Let the cocking handle come forward slowly and push the handle into the counter bore, locking the bolt open. This should extract a live cartridge from the chamber (if there is one). 
  4. Look and feel to be sure there are no cartridges in the chamber. 
  5. When you are CERTAIN the chamber is empty and the detachable magazine has been removed, grasp the cocking handle firmly, pull outward (releasing it from the counterbore) and pull fully rearward. Release the cocking handle allowing the bolt to ‘snap’ forward.
  6. Move the safety forward to the SAFETY OFF [READYTO FIRE] position. 
  7. Press the trigger to disengage the hammer from the sear. 
  8. Remove the stock takedown screws(G) and lift the barreled action from the stock. 
  9. Put the barreled action in a padded vise. 
  10. Remove the magazine housing assembly screw(C), stud(D) and washers(E). Remove the original magazine housing(B) from your action.
  11. Install the new magazine housing(B).  Install the screw(C) and stud(D) with the washers(E).  Torque 40 in-lbs torque maximum.
  12. Place the Chassis Stock(A) onto the barreled action making sure to center the trigger and magazine housing into the appropriate openings.
  13. Install and tighten the two new stock takedown screws(G).  Torque 15 in-lbs.
  14. Cycle the bolt to be sure that it moves freely and will dry fire when the trigger is pressed.
  15. Verify that both positions of the two-position safety operate as described in your original owner’s manual.  When in the FULL SAFE position, the trigger should be blocked from moving.  When in the SAFETY OFF position, the trigger will be allowed to move.
