Can anyone here tell me how to disassemble a Marlin .30-30 Model 30AS for cleaning? Picked one up the other day fairly cheap but in need of a good cleaning, my first lever action so im not familiar with cleaning them.
Thanks
Disassembling a Marlin .30-30 Help
Googled this up. Unload the weapon, and check twice to make sure it is safe.
1. As with most mechanical jobs, take a careful look and note the position of all the parts, before you remove them.
2. move the lever, so the bolt is about halfway opened. Lay the rifle on it's side, and using a correct screwdriver, remove the lever screw, and then remove the lever by pulling it out. If your rifle has the safety button, make sure the button is in the "safe" position.
3. Pull the bolt out the rear of the receiver.
4. carefully remove the ejector from the receiver
5. Clean the rifle from the breech end. Clean and lightly oil the bolt, lever, and action.
6. I place the ejector back in its slot, and gently push in the bolt. It should slide right over the ejector.
7. with the bolt back in the receiver, a little more than half way into battery. Refit the lever, and re install the screw.
