Field Stripping A FAMAE Rifle

How To Disassemble The FAMAE SG-540 and 542 Rifle

There has been a ton of confusion regarding how to disassemble the gas system on the FAMAE rifles. In reality it’s a very simple process and rather than requiring removing one of the bolts, it simply requires a 180 degree rotation of the retaining screw to release the assembly.

To help explain it even better, we finally found some time to put this video showing you a complete disassembly and field stripping of the FAMAE SG-540 rifle. the process for stripping a SG-542 is basically the same so this should answer many of the questions we have been getting.

  1. Good day
    Thnxs for the SG 542 strip down video. My question is the mag cleaning, can the mags be taken apart and are there any tricks to it. Any insights would be appreciated.
    Cheers

    • Hi Barry,

      Yes, you can take them part. Slide the floor plate. Put a screw driver into the round hole lift a little not much and slide back then the floor plate will come off. The spring and follower will drop out.

      Good luck,

      ERE
