(1st) make sure gun is unloaded.

(2nd) The Drift pin is just above trigger, push it out and trigger group can then be taken out.

(3rd) Turn the rifle upside down and because you have to put it back in, make sure you know which end is where and compress the bolt spring, hold onto it tight and just push in on it and remove.

(4th) Remove the bolt and have at it. This is a good time to look at the chamber mouth. If the rifle has been dry fired a lot, with the firing pin being made from harder steel then the barrel, you might have peened a nick in the opening. If so, you want to have a gunsmith "iron" it out. You can dry fire any center fire rifle or handgun and it wont hurt anything. Dry firing a rimfire without a spent case or plastic bullet is a no-no. Don't use WD-40 it turns into cement when mixed with gun crud. When your done cleaning the bore use a small amount of light oil on a patch and run it through the barrel. But before you put it back together use a Q-tip dipped in alcohol and clean any/all, lube out of the chamber, not the barrel just the chamber, you want it dry as a bone.
