more then field strip

so ive googled and searched and tinkerd with my hk .22lr

i cant find anyway to get the bolt system out.

everyone says i shouldnt have to. they say hold the bolt back and jus spray and wipe :/

but im OCD....it needs a good cleaning. after an hour of this so called "cleaning" its still gritty when charging and functions test. i Qtipped the crap out of it.

anyone do this? take off the barrel and barrel nut? (havnt done this yet)

here is what iv been able to take apart so far.

seperate receivers (T/B)

the rail/shroud

stock/tube

flash suprsr.

velocity spring and follower.

if anyone has broken this down more for cleaning. plz post links/pics/how to.

thanx

found this

the barrel nut is different though. jus use a screwdriver and hammer and use it to get the barrel nut loose

I made a tool or wedge out of wood to hold the Bolt open while I clean my sons Gun. That works pretty good for me.  We have not had one fail to eject or fail to feed since I got him this Gun, even with the cheap Remington Subsonics, works great.

i found taking out the velocity spring keeps the tension off it all when cleaning.

you should post a pic of this "wedge" seems like a good idea so i dont keep taking out this spring

Ok, here is the "Wedge" I made to keep the Bolt open while cleaning my son's Gun.  I used one of those Paint mixing Sticks they give away free in Home Depot.  I traced the shape of the inner part of the charging handle with paper and a pen, then cut and shape until it fit.  Cheap and works great.  I realy got tired of trying to hold the Bolt open while cleaning so I had to come up with some kind of contraption to make things easier.

No problem.  Belive me it makes cleaning a lot easier.

After looking at the 416's manual, it appears that Umarex used the same internals as in the Colt M4 .22. There is a detailed tear-down/cleaning procedure for the Colt HERE. Should be very similar for the HK.

Thanks for the info.  Thats definately the way to go for a good 1000 round cleaning.

You are welcome - let us know how it works out when you tear it down.
