The document provides instructions for disassembling and reassembling the low profile 300 Blackout piston system. It describes removing the upper receiver, bolt carrier group, and hand guard to access the piston assembly. The disassembly steps include aligning the piston slot, using a punch to pull back the operating rod, and removing the piston. Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly. The document also provides cleaning and maintenance tips, such as using gun cleaner and wiping off excess lubricant.

Cleaning and Maintenance
• For quick field cleaning simply wipe out the upper receiver and wipe off the bolt carrier with a rag, add
a few drops of lubricant to the carrier and reassemble.
• For a thorough cleaning disassemble the piston system assembly in to its individual parts and with a gun
cleaner of your choice follow the brands cleaning instructions. For detailed cleaning instruction for your
AR-15 type rifle we recommend consulting a US military technical manual such as ARMY TM 9-1005-
319-23&P
• Most owners will clean and maintain their piston system well above what is required. For others who
use the piston system daily they may only do a thorough cleaning when reliability suffers. Although the
piston system in daily use is nearly maintenance free, we do recommend routine inspection and cleaning
as needed to prevent corrosion. The piston system should be thoroughly cleaned and lubricated before
lengthy storage to prevent corrosion.
• We recommend wiping off any excess lubricant from the piston and piston cylinder before placing the
system in service because excess lubricant accelerates fouling buildup by providing a base for fouling to
adhere to then it burns off leaving only burnt on carbon / fouling behind.
• The use of corrosive ammunition is not recommended and if ever used will require an immediate and
extensive cleaning process to prevent corrosion. The corrosive ammunition cleaning process is beyond
the scope of this manual and customers are advised not to use corrosive ammunition.
• Do NOT use Ammonia base products on Nickel Boron Carrier.
