How do you get a Husqvarna bolt apart?

[Tudenom]

I've got myself a Husqvarna Model 1600 and I'd like to get my bolt apart to clean it up but I have no idea howto strip this thing down.

The safety isn't on the bolt, it has a tang safety instead, so I'm not sure how to unscrew the firing pin/shroud assembly from the bolt body.

Anyone have some suggestions?

It's been awhile since I took a 1600 apart but I'll give an explanation a try.

Remove the bolt from the rifle.

I'll assume a righ-handed person

With the bolt held vertically with the left hand and with the cocking piece up, hook the cocking piece on the edge of your work bench(or the dining room table) and pull the bolt down to create a gap between the cocking piece and the bolt shroud. Insert a penny in the gap with the right hand and allow the bolt to come back up.

Unscrew the shroud/cocking piece/firing pin assembly from the bolt body.

Next, holding the firing pin assembly vertical with the tip of the firing pin on the bench and your left hand wrapped around the shroud, push the shroud toward the bench to compress the firing pin spring. When the cocking piece comes clear of the shroud and with your right hand, turn the cocking piece 90 degrees and lift it off the end of the firing pin. Gently relax the shroud and let the spring expand and lift the shroud off the firing pin.

Reassemble in reverse order.

Awesome, the penny idea worked really well
