I have a Savage Mark II Mako and I just finished Cerakoting the barrel. The problem is is don't know how to get the bolt apart.

I don't want to risk damaging the spring in the oven as it will be in there for two hours at 250 degrees.

Has anybody ever taken one apart?

There are instructions here and there---do a search.

From memory: Striker down in fired position. Put the front end
in a padded vise. Pull back on the back end. See the wrench
flats on the part you exposed? 5/16" thin wrench, unscrew.
Now see the little e clip at the end of the spring? Compress
spring, remove clip, remove spring.

That said--2 hrs at 250° will NOT harm the spring. You are
at least 100° too cold to have any effect.

Think about it---the springs in a engine or transmission run
at 250°+ for YEARS with no problems.
