Went ahead and took everything out of the receiver except the ejector. It's held in by a screw and I don't want to mess with it if I don't have to. Gave it a shot of WD-40 in case we want to remove it later.
The bolt has some rust on it (not terribly bad but it made me cringe a little when I saw it). I'm guessing that the gun got wet at some time and there is some rust where the barrel and receiver mate. The guy that owns the gun is out of town for the weekend and I'd prefer if he did any enthusiastic hammering on it. I'll keep soaking it down with WD-40 until he comes back.
