3.3.1  Assembly is the reverse order of the disassembly steps.

3.3.2  When installing the bolt key back on to the bolt, first insert the end with the exposed spring and push the spring into the bolt in order to slide the key on (fig. 10). The spring pressure is what keeps the key on the bolt.

IMPORTANT: The firing pin spring, if it has been removed, must be assembled back onto the firing pin as illustrated with the spring all the way up over the retaining shoulder. (fig. 13) Failure to do so can result in spring or firing pin breakage and failure to function.

Upon reinserting the bolt into the upper receiver make sure that the last round bolt hold open actuator is positioned out of the path of the bolt.
