Oil slide rails and outside diameter of barrel where it rides in frontof the slide. If it becomes necessary to disassemble for cleaning the procedures are as follows - j, Remove bolt pin with a 1/8" diameter punch, pull slide back approximately 1/2" so firing pin and spring will come out of bolt, then remove bolt by inserting a brass or aluminum rod into magazine well and drive bolt out of slide. 2, Slide will come forward off of frame, no other disassembly is necessary. RE-ASSEMBL V Replace recoil rod and spring into recoil rod hole in frame. Insert front of recoil spring into spring hole at front of slide. Pull slide back over the barrel, then down and back. Pull slide back slightly, approximately 1/4", so bolt can be inserted into top of slide. 5 L Drive bolt back into slide until retaining pin holes in side and bolt are aligned.
