Aragorn 243 just finished one similar to that and will be able to help you when he comes up on the blog.

I'm not seeing any disassembly guides anywhere on-line. Try pulling the trigger while pulling the bolt back.

Open the bolt as far as it will go. Look inside just in front of the bolt head. You'll see a piece of metal that sticks up just a bit. Push down on that with a non-marring item and the bolt comes right out.
