Description/Features
The MAX-10/45 Upper Receiver is designed to provide additional capability to the M-10/45 submachinegun. Utilizing a bolt weight, the rate of fire is reduced to around 600 rounds per minute, for the standard MAX-10/45. This allows easy controllability of fire and the ability to consistently fire single and two round bursts from the automatic setting. Other bolt assemblies are available to adjust the rate of fire to faster rates, if desired. The MAX-10/45 attaches to the stock M-10/45 lower receiver without any modification to the lower receiver. Features: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Rear Sight , Adjustable Front Sight , Adjustable Scope/Optics rail (Mil-Std-1913) Front Hand Grip Front Grip Retaining Pin Lower Accessory Rail (Mil-Std-1913) 7) 9 inch barrel length, removeable (threaded 7/8-9) 8) Side Accessory Rail Mounting Points 9) Cocking Handle (reciprocating)

Operation
Cocking Pull cocking knob to rear and release. Bolt will remain open. Cocking knob will remain in rear position.
Sight Adjustment One click equals 3/4" of elevation or windage at 50 yards or 1-1/2" at 100 yards. Rotating the front sight clockwise will raise the bullet impact point. Rotating the rear sight drum clockwise will move the bullet impact point to the right.
Upper Scope/Optics Rail A full length rail for mounting a scope or other aiming device is located on the top of the upper receiver. The profile of the rail is a standard Mil-Std-1913 style and will accept Weaver or Mil-Std-1913 scope rings or mounting systems.

Lower Accessory Rail A rail for attaching a front hand grip, laser aiming device, tactical flashlight or other device is attached to the bottom of the front handgrip. Please note, some hand grips are not manufactured to the correct dimensions to mount on a Mil-Std-1913 rail. Insure the grip is correct before attaching. The recommended front grip is a TDI Model SVG. Additionally, tactical flashlights designed for use with pistol accessory rails will fit on the accessory rail but will be a tighter fit. The lower accessory rail may be removed to provide a slimmer grip. To remove, use an 1/8" allen key to remove the two screws that secure the rail to the grip. To re-install, use a drop of Loctite 242 on each screw and hand tighten. Do not over tighten the screws or you may shear the thread inserts from the polymer grip.
Side Accessory Rails (optional) The MAX-10/45 can be fitted with left and right side accessory rails for mounting additional accessories. The optional accessory rails come with longer mounting screws. They are installed by removing the existing side grip mounting screws, placing the rails over the grip sides and installing the longer mounting screws. When installing the new screws, use Loctite 242 on the threads and be careful not to overtighten the screws.

Sling Attachment (optional) A sling swivel can be attached to the upper receiver at either of the front grip side panel mounting points. The recommended swivel is the ACE Ltd. SS-AR. To install, remove a screw from the grip side and install the sling swivel kit per the manufacturers instructions. Additionally, if the optional side accessory rails are installed a sling mount can be installed directly to it. The recommended accessory rail sling mount is either the ACE Ltd. SM-R or ZM Weapons YHM-9485S. Install per the manufacturers instructions. The rear of the sling can be attached to the stock, if it is so equipped.
Attachment of a Sound Suppressor A sound suppressor may be attached to the MAX-10/9. The threads on the MAX-10/45 barrel are 7/8-9. When using a suppressor, regularly tighten the suppressor to the barrel threads. It will have a tendency to loosen during firing. This is typical of the 7/8-9 mounting thread and is not related to the design of the MAX-10/45 upper receiver. CAUTION: Prior to installation and use of a sound suppressor, it is recommended that the suppressor be installed by a qualified gunsmith and the mounted suppressor be inspected for alignment prior to firing. Additionally, some suppressor manufacturers warranties expressly require that they thread the barrel for the firearm that their suppressor will be used on. The warranty for the MAX-10/45 Slowfire Upper Receiver applies only to the upper receiver assembly and not any accessories subsequently attached by the Customer.

Removal of Barrel The barrel has been designed to allow easy removal and installation. There are 7/8" wrench flats at the muzzle end. To prevent marring the finish of the upper receiver use a padded vise or hard wood inserts. Alternatively, apply a couple of layers of masking tape to the trunnion. Secure trunnion firmly in vise. Using a 7/8" open end wrench on the wrench flats at the muzzle end, turn the wrench counter clockwise to loosen and remove barrel. To re-install barrel, apply Loctite Threadlocker 242 to the barrel threads and insert barrel into trunnion. Hand thread barrel and tighten by turning the wrench clockwise. Use a torque wrench to tighten to 40 foot/pounds. Cleaning, Lubrication and Maintenance Cleaning and lubrication should be carried out per the original manual provided with the M-10/45 with the following additional requirements: Recommended cleaning interval is after each shooting session or 500 rounds of use. Remove the upper receiver from the lower receiver. Slide the bolt assembly fully rearward. Remove the cocking knob from the left side of the receiver. Remove bolt assembly from upper receiver. Clean upper receiver with solvent. The metal finish and polymer grips are resistant to most cleaning chemicals including Mineral Spirits, Acetone and MEK. Inspect all mounting screws for tightness. Clean barrel using your preferred method. Lightly coat all surfaces with gun oil. Wipe away any excess oil. Clean the bolt assembly in solvent. Brush the bolt face and breach area with a nylon or brass brush to remove any built-up carbon deposits. Insure the bolt face is clean and free of debris. Using a fingertip, apply a thin coat of gun oil to the bolt surfaces. Wipe away any excess oil. Add a drop of gun oil to the recoil spring where it meets the back of the bolt. Inspect the sear engagement surface for rounding or burrs. Small burrs may be removed with a file. If the surface is worn and preventing the sear from reliably engaging, discontinue use and have it repaired immediately. Insert the bolt assembly into the upper receiver. Slide bolt assembly forward until hole in bolt assembly lines up with rear of slot in upper receiver. Install cocking knob and push bolt assembly forward. Re-install upper receiver and front hand grip to lower receiver.
