• placing first fasteners into holes of the cap sling swivel block;
• tightening the first fasteners in an “X” pattern to secure the cap sling swivel block to the modular sling swivel mounting base around the barrel;
• sliding a barrel reverse tapper mount bobbin over the barrel up to the front sight post;
• positioning two barrel side plates on the barrel;
• positioning the barrel reverse tapper mount bobbin over the two barrel side plates with second fasteners attached to the barrel reverse tapper mount bobbin aligned with a groove of the barrel side plates;
• tightening the second fasteners to secure the barrel reverse tapper mount bobbin and the barrel side plates to the barrel;
• positioning a modular forend extension with a female grooved end towards the barrel reverse tapper mount bobbin and the front sight post;
• sliding the modular forend extension over the barrel and towards the barrel reverse tapper mount bobbin and front sight post;
• aligning the female grooved end of the modular forend extension with a male grooved end of the modular sling swivel mounting base;
