Mossberg 4x4 Bolt diassembly ?

[blindhog1964]

Hey guys just bought a new Mossberg 4x4 in 338 Win Mag and like any new gun I buy I want to tear it down and clean and lube everything. I was just wondering if any of you have disassembled a bolt on one of these and if you could shed some light on how to disassemble it. Any help would be apprecieated.

These folks have done a lot of work to the Moss'y: http://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/489623/site_id/1 Look at what they have to say and see if it makes sense to you.

As I understand it, the bolt cross-pin is also the firing pin guide/stop. It seems that Mossberg has upgraded their bolt pins after a few early problems. You might post what you figure out as you go into this? Mossberg info always welcome

Thanks ,that's what I was looking for. I think I will give it a try. I 'll report back after I'm done. Has anybody tried this yet, and if so any hints ?
thanks
