Mossberg 73B Bolt Disassembly

[sherpa]

Ahh, my first gun - my great-grandfather gave me this old single shot when I was 8, and I have been using it ever since. My problem is I cannot figure out how to disassemble the bolt to do a detail cleaning... A good brushing, and shooting it with CLP has worked so far, but I think, after 75 years of use, it's probably due for a good ol' detail clean. Any help sure would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
