Good day folks. I'm very much a newbie and am trying to clean my Winchester 490. I'm following the manual to a tee, but I've run into an issue where in the disassembly instructions it says (step 13 in disassembly) "Slide the breech bolt assembly forward until it is out of the receiver". Simple enough, but as I slide it forward it has a spring attached to the rear of the bolt which seems to be wanting to pull the bolt back. I've gone over the instructions a bunch of times and have not missed any steps. The manual says at this point that it's "gunsmith only" to further disassemble and I kinda agree -- I just want to remove and clean the bolt as this is a used rifle and it's really dirty.
Hoping someone has taken one of these apart before. I love shooting it but it's making me work pretty hard to show some TLC!
