The link below will take you to a Marlin Owners Manual. It does not match your rifle exactly, since yours has a tube magazine, and this is for a box magazine. Other than that, they are very similar.

Of course, the FIRST step is always to check that the rifle is unloaded. That is also a good SECOND step. One screw under the forearm holds the action and barrel in the stock. Remove the magazine tube, and remove the bolt by releasing the safety, opening the bolt, HOLD the trigger to the rear, and slide bolt out. Use a cleaning rod with solvent and a brush to clean the bore (from the rear), follow up with a clean, dry patch.

The 81 is a nice rifle.

Serial numbers were required per a 1968 firearms act. Marlin .22's produced prior to this were not required to have serial numbers stamped on the weapon and marlin decided it was not productive to do so. Although they did stamp some earlier models they discontinued the practice. My Marlin model 56 made in 1960 also has no serial number.

Where can you find out how to break down and clean a Marlin 81 DL 22 CAL bolt action rifle?

Go to a sporting goods store or gunshop, and get a .22 caliber cleaning kit. Check the rifle to be sure it is completely unloaded. Open the bolt and pull it back. With the safety off, press and hold trigger, and slide bolt out of the rear of the action. Loosen the large screw forward of the trigger guard. This will release the action from the stock. STOP. Do not take anything else apart. Follow instructions in your cleaning kit.
