Songbird PM4 center-fire assembly
The Songbird PM4 Center-fire is one of the easiest firearms to
assemble, made of only 11 to 15 parts (depending on the frame type,
barrel used, etc.).

step 1
Make sure all surfaces, holes, curves, and cracks are smooth, and
without burrs or other unwanted material. Remove any unwanted
material with sand paper, metal files, a rotary tool/Dremel tool, etc.

6
Step 2 (optional)
In some countries, states, provinces, and/or counties across the
world, the Songbird PM4C is only legal if the builder/operator
secures a certain amount of metal into the frame of the firearm. This
is the purpose of the compartment in the PM4C’s frame. If the
PM4C builder/operator chooses to comply, they can glue the
required amount of steel into the frame compartment, located in the
grip of the firearm.

7
step 3
Glue the frame cap over the frame compartment.

8
step 4
Insert the firing pin from the back of the frame. The firing pin should
be able to freely move forward and aft.

9
step 5
Insert the firing pin retainer into the frame behind the firing pin with
the flat side facing forward. The flat side should be touching the wall
of the frame with the tab on top behind the firing pin, and the holes
on the firing pin retainer lined up with the trigger pin hole in the
frame.

step 6
Insert the back of the trigger into the hammer from the front.

11
step 7
Insert both the trigger and hammer into the frame at the same time.

12
step 8
Slide the trigger pin into the trigger pin hole in the frame, trigger,
and firing pin retainer.

13
step 9
Slide the hammer pin into the hammer pin hole in the frame, and the
hammer itself.

14
step 10 (optional)
If you would like to secure the hammer pin further, you can use a
safety pin, paper clip, bent straight pin, etc., to slide through the hole
that is on one side of the hammer pin, and lock it in place.

15
step 11
If you are assembling the recoil pad frame, you can now install the
recoil pad. To do this, all we have to do is glue it into place at the
back of the barrel chamber (almost any glue works for this
application). First we can apply a small amount of glue to the back
of the recoil pad (the side with nine holes) and/or the inside of the
frame where the recoil pad is to be installed. It is extremely
important that glue does not touch the firing pin or the firing pin hole
during the recoil pad installation, use extreme caution. Now, we can
insert the recoil pad into its position with the front (flat side) facing
the front of the firearm and the curved edges facing the firearms
right side. Push firmly on the front of the recoil pad to make sure it
is seated all the way into its position. After the glue has dried, the
recoil pad should not extend out of its housing. The recoil pad
should be flush with the corner of the barrel housing.

16
step 12
Install the hammer rubber band by looping it around the notch in the
hammer and the notch in the frame. The hammer rubber band has to
be pretty tight, so you may need to fold the rubber band and then
loop it back into place.

17
step 13
To install the trigger rubber band, push one side of the band through
the front hole in the trigger guard and loop it around the notch in the
bottom of the trigger. Then, stretch the other side of the rubber band
and loop it around both sides of the trigger pin.

18
19
If you have a small rubber band for the trigger band, you can push
one side through the front hole in the trigger guard and loop it
around the trigger notch like before, but then take the other side and
attach it to the trigger notch as well but without tucking it through
the front trigger guard hole.

The Songbird PM4 Center-fire is now assembled and ready for


testing at the range. Refer to the Songbird PM4 Center-fire manual
for details.
