I've disassembled the bolt once and can't really remember how.
But If I recall correctly, the bolt is made of a few parts.
The bolt body.
The Forward bolt assembly which is a part of the bolt, the part that fits into the barrel.
A spring and a pin.
Also the firingpin and firingpin spring.
I'm not sure there were a trick to it.
Look at the forward bolt assembly, it has a big hole in it where the big pin should fit.
Place the forward bolt assembly and the small, yet powerfull spring in the bolt body, so that the extractor is on the same side as the shiny and polished of the bolt body.
As you squeeze the parts together, place the pin into the hole of the forward bolt assembly through the groove in the main bolt body.
You may need to twist the pin a little after you've inserted it - as it might have wear and tear that makes it work best in a tight position.
With the bolt assembled - put in the firing pin and firing pin sprin through the rear end of the assembled main bolt.
Put the ejector into the receiver - the ejector is the long thin metal part made of spring-metal that is twice as long as the bolt and fits over a very small pin on the left side of the insides of the receiver.
Slide in the big metal part of the bolt, at this point it's without the handle that you use for reloading the gun so there's no tencion on the firingpin and firing-pin spring at this time.
It is to be slided in gently, so that you're sure that the ejector fits at all times - if you are not sure of it, the ejector WILL bend out of shape and need replacement.
As the bolt is little over halfway in - you can put in the reload-handle, which should be a piece of flat metal with the bolt-handle on it.
Put it in through the ejector-port of the receiver and press the bolt towards the ejector to make room for the reload-handle.
This might require a little magic - but it will get there.
Push and hold the firing pin and firingpin spring into the bolt, as you place the reload-handles big flat part on the bottom of the main bolt.
The reload-handle has a little hook at the end of it, which holds the firing pin and firingpin-spring inside the bolt.
Now tighten the little screw that holds the reload-handle.
Cycle the bolt gently - this will allow you to see wether the ejector fits where it's supposed to.
It should be held tight over it's little pin by the main bolt.
Now you can fit in the connecting arms that connect the gas plunger and the main bolt.
It should fit into the underside of the bolt - into 4 small squared holes of the bolt and reload-handle. This may require some pushing and pulling on the reload-handle to make the connecting arm fit into the holes.
Now put in the long thin spring and the gas plunger into the magazine tube - press it fully into the tube, cycle the bolt so the holes can be connected with a "fat" little pin.
As this is done - you're ready to put in the firing mechanism/trigger housing.
The loading-"door"/flap goes in first with it's two arms into each side of the magazine tube and the trigger-guard end last.
Secure it with the pin.
But the front stock and barrel.. cycle it a few times.. and you SHOULD be set to go hunting.

Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.
I noticed you seem to know quite a lot about the 1500 XTR. I'm hoping you might be able to help me as well. When I got the shotgun home (bought it used), I cleaned the entire thing completely. I even pulled the trigger housing apart (usually I'm really careful about this). Well, a little spring came out and I'm not sure how its supposed to go back in. I think is has something to do with the action cycling correctly because now, the bolt locks to the rear every time I fire a shot. Each time I fire a shot, I have to release the bolt manually. Any suggestions?
