(b). Push the kit barrel insert into the rear (chamber) end of the fixed barrel - making sure to rotate the insert so that the ejector slot in the flange is oriented to upper right corner (2 'o clock) and the shorter straight side of the flange circumference is horizontal and on the bottom - until the flange of the insert rests up snugly against the chamber.
(c). Screw the nut, centering ring first, onto the front end of the barrel insert until the ring touches the orifice of the original barrel, but do not tighten yet.
(d). Slip the recoil spring, narrow end first, onto the barrel.
(e). Manipulate the slide over the barrel and frame of the pistol just as you would in a routine Makarov assembly procedure, until it is sitting properly on the side edges of the frame. To make the slide move forward to its closed position, apply pressure to its back (over the hammer) end. Guide the trigger guard up into its frame slot.
(f). With the slide in front position and the extractor properly nested in its slot on the insert flange, hand tighten the barrel nut.
(g). Insert and lock in place the magazine.
After a couple of installations you should be able to do the conversion in 40 seconds!
Shooting with the 22LR conversion kit is no different than shooting with any other type/caliber pistol! It is the shooters responsibility to be familiar with and observe ALL appropriate and customary conditions, requirements and precautions.
Please remember that the slide does not lock in the rear open position after the last shot.
Note: Do not dry fire the Makarov with the 22LR Conversion in place in order to avoid possible damage to the firing pin and chamber edge.
Good luck and have fun!
