Although I have never taken mine apart to clean it, my partners BLR is about 15 yrs old and he has taken it apart. The only trouble he had was when re-assembling it he has gotten the gears on the lever matching the bolt out by 1 tooth. The hammer will still fall but the firing pin won't strike the primer as its to far due to improper head spacing with the gears out that 1 tooth. For him its just a matter of removing a pin and realigning the gears. lol He missed a great whitetail about 5 years ago because of it. Was he miffed. lol
I got mine 3 years ago now and was strictly a bolt action man. I thought it was time to try something different. I probably will get a breakdown on mine and take it apart sometime this summer for a good cleaning, instead of spending an hour or two doing it with rags and picks.
