1 Replace the slide on the frame.
2 Place the buffer on the end of the recoil spring guide rod. Position the
buffer in front of the recoil post and insert the end of the recoil
spring guide rod into the small hole in the recoil post. Grasp the sides
of the firing pin housing, pull slightly to the rear, and insert it down
into the cavity in the slide. It should nest snugly.
3 Pull the slide rearward about 1". At the same time “tip” the barrel
block into the recess in the frame (Figure 20). Pivot the barrel up, and
the rear of the sight base downward, until the sight base comes into
alignment with the top of the slide.
4 Allow the slide to return forward.
5 Tighten the barrel mounting screw.
6 Replace the rear sight base screw and lockwasher and tighten.
(On Target 5.5 models replace the rear sight hood, if it was removed.)
