Effortless Upper Receiver Installation

The process of installing an upper receiver on the RT15 Poly complete lower is both quick and straightforward.

To illustrate, let's walk through the steps of installing an ATI .410 Gauge upper receiver assembly on an RT15 Poly Lower:

STEP 1
Locate and Push Out Takedown Pins

Push the takedown pins out - they are retained in the lower receiver and will not come all of the way out.

STEP 2
Align Forward Takedown Lugs & Secure with Takedown Pin

Locate the forward takedown lug on the upper receiver and match it to the forward takedown lugs on the RT15 Poly lower receiver.

Once these lugs are all lined up, push the forward takedown pin through the upper receiver's takedown lugs to secure the front of the upper receiver to the front of the lower receiver.

This will create a hinge setup, allowing you to manipulate parts inside the rifle.

STEP 3: Swap Buffers

We will need to remove and swap the buffer from the RT15 Poly lower to the .410 gauge specific buffer included with the ATI .410 Gauge Upper.

Simply depress the retaining pindown far enough that the buffer's spring pressure pushes the buffer out of the buffer tube.

Remove the RT15 Poly lower's buffer from the spring, replace it with the ATI .410 buffer, and reinsert the buffer and spring as an assembly into the buffer tube in the same orientation in which it was originally seated.

Press the buffer all the way back into the buffer tube until it is behind the buffer retaining pin.
