ArmaLite AR 7 explorer questions

Hello, I recently acquired an AR 7 through some trades but it comes to me without a manuel. I really want to know how to remove the bolt for cleaning; The barrel screws off and the stock is removed via a single hex head screw. There is a single screw on the left sideplate that I don't want to remove until I'm sure a bunch of springs and pins won't fly away.
Also this has a solid stock, not the kind where you stow all the pieces inside and is marked KIMTODD MFG. Does anyone know if this is original to the gun?

If anyone is thinking, "Gee, this is a cool gun, I'd sure like to have one!" and then are pleased to find that the Henry firearms folks are making a replica version......Don't buy the Henry!! The quality is so bad (how bad is it???); the quality is so bad that you and your buddies will think the gun was deliberately built this way as a joke!!

Take out the magazine catch, it's spring, and the ejector. The spring is under a tiny bit of tension, so keep it under control. Their pivot pin is loose so take that out so it doesn't wander off on it's own.
Push the bolt back through the front of the receiver with your finger just enough to take the tension off the bolt handle, and pull the handle straight out to the side away from the bolt. The bolt will then be free to travel out the front of the receiver.
