Hi all,
I am going to be storing my model 11 for a few months and will have an action lock through it. As such I can't close the bolt and decock it into battery.
I would like to store it decocked so that the firing pin spring is not under tension for months.

How to do this?

I assume I can back out the rear bolt assembly screw that begins the bolt dissasembly and once some spring tension is relieved (without fully removing it) I can lift and turn the cocking piece and let it drop into the fired postion?

Thanks

PS This rifle that I had accuracy iuuse with some months ago got a new scope (the Bushnell Legend failed), bedding and SSS trigger and now shoots well. Dropped an Alberta black bear with it 2 weeks ago.
