So I did a cleaning of the bolt without removing anything, I used some brakeclean spray and wiped down the bolt and used some q-tips for the nooks & crannies. I didn't lube anything, left it dry as I always do. I did some unsuccessful coyote hunting on the past weekend but I did shoot a small bush at 300 yards, only 1 of my 4 rounds ejected was the bad news. The good news, the bush was dead! Interesting to me was I cycled 4 unfired rounds through the action and all 4 ejected.
Tonight I removed the parts I could from the bolt. Removed and cleaned the firing pin/spring. Also removed the ejector pin & spring which had a bit of crud but not much. I couldn't remove the extractor claw assembly but gave it a thorough spray with brakeclean and a bit of compressed air, again I left it dry. It's reassembled and hopefully I can test on the weekend.
