There is a website ww w.surplusrifle.com that has detailed instructions and pics to dissasemble every milsurp gun. But its not working for me. Does anyone know were else is a good site to know how to take apart a 98k (to clean it)?
Take apart a 98k

It's not rocket science. Remove the barrel bands, open the capture screws (if there are any). Remove the action screws. Take out the trigger guard. Lift the barelled receiver out of the stock.
Put the bolt safety flag straight up, then remove the bolt. Push in the plunger on the bolt shroud and unscrew the bolt shroud. Now put the firing pin into the firing pin take-down hole on the stock and push the cocking piece down until you can rotate the cockign piece 90 degrees and remove it. Let the shroud up slowly - it's under spring pressure. The rest is self-explanatory.
Back to the receiver. The trigger is held on by a pin - drift it out. The bolt stop is held on by a screw. Unscrew it.
If you need any more detailed instructions like disassembling the bolt shroud, removing the extractor or taking apart the bolt stop and trigger, PM me and I'll walk you through it, but you don't generally need to take those things apart to clean the gun.

Took it apart tonight. Really easy. Now its getting it back together
There is a school for the Mechanically Declined, they start out with putting round, square and star shaped blocks into the matching holes cut out in wood blocks...
It was a Bizarro Cartoon. LOL

Why a double post???
You mean aside from inspecting to make sure it's safe and that there aren't holes drilled into the barrel, deply rusted areas below the woodline that affect safety, weakening of the receiver below the woodline, etc?
Or to check that the recoil lug hans't set back indicating imminent stock failure?
Or to clean cosmolene off the barelled action so it doesn't ooze out all over you when you shoot it?
Other than that, I guess you don't need to disassemble it...
I always take apart my guns and do a really good cleaning.

But then I sometimes wonder why people have this burning desire to remove the firing pin from an Enfield bolt that is working properly.
