STEP 2: INSERT SIDE COVER ASSEMBLY INTO UPPER RECEIVER. TIGHTEN SCREWS UNTIL SNUG. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR YOU CAN DAMAGE THE THREADS.

STEP 3: CONFIRM THE INSTALLATION IS SECURE BY USING YOUR HAND TO ENSURE THE WEDGES ARE HOLDING THE COVER / BRASS DEFLECTOR IN PLACE PROPERLY.

IF THE PARTS ARE MOVING WHILE PULLING / PUSHING GENTLY WITH YOUR HAND, LOOSEN SCREWS, MOVE PARTS INTO PLACE AND RETIGHTHEN SLIGHTLY TIGHTER THAN BEFORE. ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN AS YOU CAN DAMAGE THE THREADS.

IF THE BRASS DEFLECTOR IS INSTALLED, YOU CANNOT USE THE SIDE CHARGING HANDLE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE!

ONCE TESTING IS COMPLETE, YOUR PARTS ARE READY FOR USE!
