How to disassemble a Marlin 89-C
Hey guys, I've got a Mission Impossible here...
I inherited a Marlin 89-C from my grandfather, and I'm trying to inspect it (really clean it) before shooting it. I unfortunately can't get the bolt out of the receiver. The bolt charging handle is preventing me from extracting the bolt. I can't figure out how to separate the bolt handle from the bolt. I've gotten the back plug out, taken out the spring guide, the two springs, and the striker.
This is usually the time I start fiddling with it and really screw something up, so I'll stop and ask for assistance before I proceed.
