*UPDATE* -- got her done! See post #11 for a picture of her all back together and post #5 for all the parts spread out.

*OLD POST BELOW*

First thing I did was work on the bolt. I gave it two hot water treatments, and plan to give it a mineral spirit bath next (pictures below). But, next I was going to take the barrel bands off so I could take the barrel out and clean it and the stock and the mag well. But alas, the two barrel bands seem stuck. Not only that, but the front spring clip doesn't seem to compress far enough to slip the band over it if I wanted. Anybody have any advice?
