I have a husky medallion grade in 7mm rem mag, and the bolt has never been disassembled. is this gun based on a mauser action? does anyone know how to take apart the bolt? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unless something is broke in the bolt, it is not necessary to disassemble the bolt to clean it. Just soak it in solvent or kerosene for an hour and blow it out with compresses air. After cleaning, lubricate it with Rem-oil and apply a light coat on the surface for rust prevention.

no, nothing broken. just thought it might be time for a good cleaning. what about using the sprays that evaporate ie. crud buster?

Sure, crud buster or spray automotive brake cleaner work well too. Just make sure you "blow out" all the crud and solvent before relubricating.

I'm unsure of the model you have but bolt field stripping is usually fairly simple. Detailed stripping is not needed to clean things up. The striker assembly will usually simply screw out of the bolt body. It is necessary to retract the cocking piece or to lock the bolt in the cocked mode if a bolt mounted safety is present. I usually just retract the striker to allow it to be unscrewed by hooking the sear over the edge of a hardwood block. Pulling it back and turning slightly allows the bolt shroud to be unscrewed from the bolt body. Be certain to screw it far enough into the bolt body upon reassembly for the striker to protrude from the bolt face when the cocking piece is fully forward in the cocking notch of the bolt body. With the striker assembly disassembled the inside of the bolt body can be cleaned and the firing pin/striker assembly can be washed. I usually use a parts wasjer tank but the spary cans of carb cleaner are very effective against even the hardest of crud. Use the cheapest available as the better brands sometimes contain preservative aditives that are undesirable for our application. Also these must by all means be used out of doors. They are exceptionally flamable. Lightly relube with a good preservative oil and use a tiny bit of grease on the cocking cam(it's the only thing that won't gall under these presures and will stay put..(remember, tiny bit).. As to preservative oil I have been using a Synthetic ATF with complete satifaction...
