Has anyone disassembled the bolt on a CF2 for cleaning? And if so, was it complicated or reasonably straightforward?

Removing the bolt from the action stops a lot of guys... (on an empty chamber fire and hold the trigger back and while holding the trigger back hard, open and withdraw the bolt)
It's been so long since I worked on one of those bolts I don't remember exactly how difficult it is to remove the firing pin assy, but I don't remember it as being difficult.

Awesome, thanks for the link. Haven’t owned one in almost 40yrs and don’t remember how it comes apart. Removing it from the rifle was easy enough haha.
I picked up my CF2 a few years ago from one of the overseas suppliers - it appeared to be a very low-mileage gun. One the first trip to the range, I had a few light primer strikes that resulted in a FTF. When I took the bolt apart, the firing pin channel was filled with a very thick, almost tar-like black grease. cleaned it out, applied some oil, and all was good to go. I've wondered whether this was factory applied or not?
Scabbed from the internet...
1) Turn the bolt shroud clockwise so it sits on the top of the bolt body, not in the notches. Do not over turn it or else you'll get stuck, just enough so it sits out of the 'cocked' groove. This will align the holes in the bolt shroud to the holes in the cocking piece of the firing pin assembly.
2) Insert a thin punch through both holes and pull up and unscrew the assembly from the bolt body. Remove punch and bolt shroud will separate from firing pin assembly.
3) Cocking indicator can be taken out of bolt shroud, careful as it is spring loaded.
4) To remove firing pin from from spring/assembly, compress the firing pin spring, and slide the firing pin off. It is secured by a notch that allows it to slide into a mating surface on the spring guide. If you are familiar with the Swiss K31 rifles, it is the same concept.
5) Completely disassembled bolt. Reverse these steps to reassemble.

Good information. Have you disassembled your bolt yet?
