all the other assembly groups. Inside the receiver there are guideways
for the bolt as well as contact surfaces for the pistol grip, the backplate
and the magazine well.
The barrel is fastened and centered to the receiver by means of a nut.
The flash hider is screwed onto the muzzle. Behind the flash hider there
is the bayonet mount with rifle grenade guide which is fastened by
means of a cross pin. The gas block behind the bayonet mount is also

cases and also serves as a catch for the folded buttstock.
