Thank you all.
Wtp,
I wonder how i missed that youtube video!
Striker,
Thanks for the link. In the said video, he just sets up the rifle. He hasnt disassembled the bolt into its constituent parts.
Hks,
The reason i want to disassemble my bolt is that i dont trust the factory guys to have done any measurable or proficient job of coating/lubricating the innards of the bolt. I had recently disassembled my iof .22lr bolt and was glad i did. Some rust and some gunk which inspite of being in kerosene for half a day didnt dislodge. So i cleaned up everything, lubed it up and put it back together. Then i removed the stock, cleaned up everything there too and put the rifle back together. Plus, i like to know my toys better.

So, its the same for the .30-06 as well.
Cheers
To Excellence through Diligence.
