Remington Model 513-S Cleaning and Restoration

I have a model 513-S. I would like to completely disassemble, clean, restore, and reassemble it. I'm not a gunsmith but I also am not new to taking apart and cleaning firearms. Because it is an older rifle I want to do it right and not break anything. Does anyone have a manual, field or service manual/guide for this model? Thanks.

Do a search on Remington Model 513-S User Manual and you will find a link to a preproduction of the manual for less than $15.00 including shipping.
It is seldom necessary to completely disassemble an action to clean it. A good cleaning with spray carburetor cleaner or soaking in a solvent and blowing out with compressed air, then lubing with a modern lubricant (non-oil) is usually all that is required. I am not familiar with taking that bolt apart. Good luck, it is a very nice rifle.
I cannot find disassembly procedures for a Rem 513 in my collection of Firearms Assembly books.
Google "thefreelibrary Remington 513" and there is some pretty good info. No parts diagram, however.
http://stevespages.com/page1.htm I couldn't get this to work with my ancient desktop and firefox, but you should be able to find your manual there.
A sonic cleaner works well without disassembly of parts.
Found the user manual you want, if you still need it.
