After the operating Rod is in position (and after making sure the Clip Latch Assembly is in place) place the Operating Rod Catch Assembly into position.

To correctly place the Operating Rod Catch grab it by the forward edge and hold it so that the 'dogleg' portion of it extends down and to the left. Then angle it into the hole where the cartridges will ride and hook the 'dogleg' over the top of the protruding part of the Clip Latch. The photograph below is a good illustration of the orientation of the Clip Latch and the Operating Rod Catch.

The Bullet Guide is inserted next.

It is important that the pointed tip of the Bullet Guide be inserted underneath the accelerator of the operating Rod Catch. This is easy enough to accomplish by simply holding the Operating Rod Catch in place while using the tip of the forefinger to angle the accelerator skyward while at the same time sliding the bullet guide underneath.

When the Bullet Guide is properly oriented with the Operating Rod Catch and the Accelerator - firmly press The bottom rear of the Bullet Guide into the notches cut into the receiver legs until the guide snaps into position. If done correctly the assembly is flush on all three sides as shown below.

The Slide and Follower Assembly go in next.
