How to Disassemble/Re-assemble Thompson Center Venture Bolt

I spent quite a while after purchasing my T/C Venture in .308 caliber trying to figure out how to take the bolt completely apart.  However, the manual doesn't tell you how and they tell you not to disassemble further than the manual states.  This doesn't work for me because I needed to clean the packing grease they use for shipment out of the inside of the bolt from the firing pin spring.  So, I had to look through the T/C Icon manual online (it has the same bolt) and they tell you how to disassemble that one and even include the tool with the Icon.  So, here's my tutorial on how to take apart the bolt of the T/C Venture.


**WARNING: T/C does not recommend disassembling your weapon further than your users manual says to.  I will not be held responsible for any damages you may do to your rifle from not following these instructions properly.  By following this instructable, you do so at your own risk.**

Step 1 Step 1. Remove the Bolt

First you need to remove the bolt from the weapon.  To do this, pull the bolt all the way to the rear, then press the bolt release on the left side of the rifle, and then pull it out of the weapon.
