My new Jungle Carbine

Please don't remove the firing pin unless really necessary. If there's crud behind it, just flush the area with a solvent (WD40 works for me). The pin is sometimes staked/expanded during assembly to the cocking piece. Threads can be damaged during unnecessary disassembly.

So when should you clean the pin and bolt assy, after a certain amout of rounds, usage, years? I just got backing from shooting mine and it shot great, just the usual amout of "field cleaning"?

Only "fix" it if there's a problem. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That's not the traditional 'American Way'.

Most seem to 'take apart just to look inside, break something, clean & try to reassemble, buy new parts and try to reassemble', but why ?

Your way is best !!

All aside, there IS no user cleaning for the bolt in detail, never was. It just needs wiping and oil both inside and out. Just enough inside to keep it moving. Make sure the screw at the back stays tight too...on the cocking piece. Paintbrush or toothbrush around the extractor.
