Detail strip the bolt on a 15-22?

[CAR-15M4]

How do you detail strip the bolt? Pics would be wonderful.

Thanks!

What do you mean? Do you mean, remove the firing pin, remove the ejector? Can't see any purpose to either (just soak the entire bolt in solvent and then lubricate). Looks to me like you would need to drift out the roll pins securing the ejector and try not to lose the spring behind it, and the same for the firing pin.

I type ejector when I mean extractor too! No ejector in a MP15-22 bolt (it's pinned to the rear of the barrel).

There's no roll pin securing the extractor which comes out without tools (maybe a thin punch) and often all by itself.

Yeah I have a habit of doing that

There isn't a roll pin in there? I don't have mine to look at right now but it looked like there was a hole on the top of the bolt where a roll pin went down through for the extractor.

I had my bolt in hand when I typed that. Hard to blow out a pinned extractor in a .22LR.

Push the detent back with a thin punch or blade and the extractor just falls out. Capture the detent and spring.
