I have seen several threads in the past asking about how to remove a stuck Bolt Assembly Screw (BAS) and about basic bolt tear-down. So I decided to go ahead and snap a few pictures while I was working on a new build.
First off, as its been said here, the easiest way to remove a stubborn BAS is to insert the 1/4" allen wrench as shown below. Then on a carpeted surface or rug, apply pressure (as indicated by the orange arrow) downward with your foot. I recommend wearing shoes when you step down. Do not be surprised if you hear a "crack" sound when the BAS breaks loose, and in rare cases you my have to bounce or stomp on it to get it to break free.
Here is a photo of the bolt with the BAS removed but otherwise still assembled. The BAS is indicated by the arrow.
Once the BAS is removed, the Bolt Handle and Rear Baffle can be slid off the rear of the Bolt Body.
To disassemble further, the cocking button in the picture needs to be slid down into the bottom of the slot (the dark slot indicated by the arrow). Use one finger and hold the inner sleeve (arrow) while sliding the button down to the bottom of the inner sleeve's slot and then lift out the button.
