I have an old 760 and took the trigger group out to clean it, but I couldn't figure out how to rmove the bolt or the bolt carrier group. Also, how does this barrel attatch to the receiver?

  Pull the forearm back to the rear and you will notice four holes in the action tube. Insert a snug fitting steel pin or punch into these holes turn the action tube counter clockwise until the action tube can be removed. Then remove the barrel, forend assembly, bolt and dust cover at the same time. If you remove the barrel from the action bars, do so very carefully so as not to bend the action bars. Be sure the punch fits the holes in the action tube snugly or you will make the holes egg shaped rather than round.

  And you certainly dont want an egg-shaped hole! Unless, of course, you are a chicken...
