To remove the bolt, pull up on the front of the extractor while trying to raise the bolt handle. Once the extractor is clear of the receiver the bolt will come out. Watch for an eroded throat in the barrel, the ammo was corrosive back then, and some of the rifles were used to shoot blanks without cleaning. You couldn't push a patch through one of my 98s until the corroded throat was smoothed with a stainless steel brush. New barrels are available from the CMPicon, but having to get one would certainly lower the price you should be willing to pay.
