I just got an M27/48 and it is saturated with cosmoline. After cleaning the barrell, receiver, trigger, and soaking the bolt in kerosene, I reasembled it and tried to test fire it.

The bolt seems to still have more cosmoline in it. The firing pin moves forward enough to dent the primer, but not hard enough to fire it.

Who knows where I can find instructions on how to break down the bolt, and more importantly, how to reasyemble it?

OR, how to clean it without taking it apart.

Also have to build one of those "Easy Bake" ovens to sweat out the stock. It is so saturated that the wood is solid black.
