Watching the last of the oil dry on the stock is right up there with watching paint dry.... so, I thought I post some pictures of the bolt assembly.   

When I got the rifle, the action was very hard to operate.  The problem turned out to be quite a bit of dried and very 'hard' oil/grease.  It seemed like a good place to start on the disassembly and cleanup.

Some of you referenced the book by Brophy.  Maybe I should have gotten that one, but instead I have Poyer's book on Krags.  The parts of this 'bolt' appear to match up with what he calls Type 1, Type 1A or 1B.  These appear to fall in the expected category based on serial #.  The only item he didn't have a photo or drawing of is the Type 1 Striker which he describes as having a squarish point.  Some day when I have more energy, I'll pull the bolt out of my 98 sporter and compare strikers.
