First take the hooked end of the Shepard Hook and Hook it around the cross rivet as shown in the picture. Make sure the Shepard Hook is flush against the left side of the receiver.

NOTE: The only reason the hammer is cocked in this photo is because I needed it out of the way to take the shot.

Next you must use your pin punch and remove the trigger axis pin. To make this step easy push the pin punch all the way through the disconnector and trigger to hold them in place but make sure to leave a gap between the receiver wall and the disconector on the left side.

In the photo I have circled the place where the gap should be, notice how I have my pin punch still inserted through the trigger and disconnector and the right side of the rifle to hold them in place.

Now take the flat head screw driver or your finger and push the end of the Shepard Hook down until it is under the trigger axis pin hole. Reinsert the trigger axis pin and push it all the way through the trigger and disconector. I recommend as you reinsert the axis pin you slowly back out the punch so it doesn't separate the trigger from the disconnector.

If you did this right the small bent part of the shepards hook should be held under the trigger axis pin. Now take the flat head screw driver and leverage the small bent part of the Shepards Hook up under the small groove in the trigger axis pin. The picture to the right shows what it should look like if you did this right.


Next look over the entire length of the Shepard Hook and make sure its flush against the left receiver wall and that it runs through the groves of both the hammer axis pin and the trigger axis pin.

Do a final check by taping on the axis pins to make sure they don't back out of the rifle.

And that's it, you just installed the Shepard Hook, to finish the reinstallation take the selector (safety) lever and reinsert as shown in the picture.


Once reinserted pull the trigger back and rotate the lever down, if it hits the back of the disconnector that's ok just force it a little and it aught to slide past it, continue to rotate it down until its in the fire position.
And that's it, you just completely reinstalled the rifles Fire Control Group. Put the rifle back together and it should be ready to rock and roll.
