while simultaneously sliding the firing pin
stop into the grooves in the slide. |
 |
82) Once the rear of the firing pin is
behind the firing pin stop you can easily
slide the stop into place.
|

rear of the firing pin will hold it in
place.
|

 |
100) Insert the the pin of the slide stop
into the slide stop hole. While pressing in
the slide stop it may be necessary to
slightly compress the plunger so the slide
stop snaps into place. I usually use a small
punch or flat blade jeweler's screwdriver.
Cycle the slide to make sure the barrel
stays in place and does not move. If the
barrel moves freely then you most likely did
not insert the slide stop pin into the
barrel linkage hole. This is easily remedied
by removing the slide stop and realigning
the slide, frame, and barrel linkage hole. |
 |
101) Slide the slide forward. |
 |
102) Figure 102 shows the position the
barrel bushing needs to be in to be inserted
into the slide. |
 |
103) Insert the barrel bushing and rotate
clockwise all the way. Figure 103 shows the
position the barrel bushing needs to be in
for you to be able to insert the recoil
spring and recoil spring plug. |
 |
104) Insert the recoil spring and recoil
spring plug. |
 |
105) Compress the recoil spring and recoil
spring plug. |
 |
106) While holding the recoil spring plug
down, rotate the barrel bushing
counter-clockwise until the barrel bushing
locks the recoil spring plug into place. |
 |
107) Figure 107 shows the barrel bushing
locking the recoil spring plug into place. |
 |
108) Cycle the slide to ensure proper
operation. |
 |
