Anyone have info on how to disassemble a Cooper model 38 bolt for cleaning? My search attempts have not been successful. I had a couple light, no fire, primer strikes on CCI 450’s so thought might help to clean and lube the bolt/firing pin. Second attempt on the misfired rounds resulted in successful detonation. Rifle hadn’t been used for several years before I got it.

Kleinendorst makes a tool most likely. Mine says for model 22, 52, and 54. Mines a 54 repeater and it works great.
Does the bolt on a Cooper model 38 disassemble in the same way as a Remington? I haven’t been able to find any videos of it being done.

Thanks. I must have ordered the last one they had in stock.
Don't recall it being like a Remington at all. I do recall that after you de-cock the bolt (padded vise works well):
1. tighten the set screw in the hole on the side of the bolt shroud. Hopefully it's still there. It takes a 1/16" allen. You tighten it to keep the firing pin from moving when you,
2. remove the flat blade screw from the rear of the bolt.
3. loosen the 1/16" set screw but don't loose it.
Everything should un-screw now.
For re-assembly, I use the tiniest bit of licktite on both screws. You need to tighten the set screw to kip the firing pin from spinning when you assemble.

Well that sounds more involved. Anyone have a view video of the process they could share?
