But I'm having one recurring doubt in my head, well actually two, the damaging of the stock and finish and the removal, possible disassembly of the firing pin.
I'm picking up my Milsurp rifle on Saturday, M48. God only knows how packed this thing will be with cosmolene. How safe are the methods suggested in some of these threads on the stock finish? If I could i'd like to get all the cosmo off it and not have to worry about sanding or re-finishing.
Secondly, this whole talk about the bolt having to be disassembled and all that has me semi freaked out. Used to rip apart Corvettes and Cadillacs but i'm nervous to take apart a rifle bolt lol, anyway. Is it easier then it's put forth in the books and the internet? I mean I figure if I can take apart a diesel pick-up, put it back together and have the guy drive it for another 125,000 miles I should be able to do a rifle bolt no?
