For curiosity sake, When I was doing a rebluing prtoject on one, i couldent see a great way of removing the bolt short of removing the barrel first, so how do you go about it?
Exactly that. Removing the barrel.
The bolt is the last thing that comes out of the gun.
BTW, when I was talking about cleaning it I was refering to completely disassembling the gun to get to all of hte parts to remove carbon build up in the gas tube, gas block, etc and in all of the other nooks and crannies and dissassembling the bolt and cleaning it inside and out.
Every now and then you gotta get in there and remove all the carbon build up.
