Remington Rolling Block or Martini-Henry .577...
The rest are slightly more complicated...

Thanks for the reassurance, it does help make me feel a little better. I'd hate to be harming my Garand, it's such a good rifle. I agree with you about wearing the stock out and loosening the bedding.Edited to read:
DMK: Don't feel guilty about cleaning your M1 in that manner. We were issued NM M1's for the 3-4 month match season in the early 60's and that was SOP. We never dissassembled the rifles unless something broke.
Oh yea, it's not like it's extremely difficult, but for a FAL it's: Push release and break rifle in half. Bolt slides out. For the SKS it's: Push release, pull pin, remove top cover. Bolt slides out. Much easier!You mention the difficulty of bolt removal on the Garand. All you have to do is drop the stock, remove op rod spring and then the op rod to get bolt out if that is necessary.
