1. See Figure 4, and note the end of the trigger spring (the arrow marked “A”).
This end of the spring must be depressed so that it slides under the rear
portion of the trigger when the grip frame is forward. With all the above
springs and plungers aligned, fully mate the grip frame and cylinder frame
and install the five grip frame screws. Note that the long screw (XR01901)

obstructed bore may damage the...

disassembled in the above manner, it is always safest to store any...

Exposed surfaces on the firearm should be cleaned and wiped dry after use or
after exposure to adverse conditions. If the firearm is to be stored, coat it with a
light film of oil or preservative. Where the firearm is in continuing use, and the
presence of oil or grease would be objectionable, then the external surfaces can
be coated (after cleaning and drying) with a paste wax formulated for use on
metals. Apply the wax sparingly, allow time for it to dry hard, then buff lightly
with a soft cloth....
