Hello, How should I go about cleaning and oiling the bolt out of my browning A-bolt? Thanks and happy holidays

Now for the adjustable trigger assembly. It’s held to the receiver by a housing screw (#54), housing-screw washer (#55), and housing set pin (#56). The latter is a roll pin. Remove it first in either direction, followed by parts #54 and #55. By the way—and this is important—the bolt-handle lock (#6) hooks onto the safety (#57). When you remove the trigger assembly, don’t lose either part #6 or #57. These are restricted parts, as are all other parts closely associated with the trigger assembly. For that reason, I’d advise you not to disassemble it further. There’s no real need to do so anyway. If it’s dirty, soak it in kerosene or mineral spirits for a day or so, flush it out, and dry it with compressed air.
It's entirely one's call but I stay away from Carb-Cleaner and instead use brake-cleaner. Carb cleaner loves to eat some plastic resins and finishes.I was thinking carb cleaner.
