How do you break down a model 98 mauser?

To break down a Model 98 Mauser, first ensure the rifle is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction. Remove the magazine and then pull the bolt back to the rear, lifting the bolt handle to release it from the receiver. Next, push the trigger guard forward to detach it, allowing access to the action and barrel. Finally, separate the barrel from the action by unscrewing the barrel retaining screw, if necessary, to complete the disassembly.
