Enfield M1917 bolt takedown

Yes. Put the firing pin tip down on a wood block (or through a hole in the block), push down on the bolt sleeve and turn the cocking piece 90 degrees either way. (And hold on for dear life to keep the whole forschlingen mess under control.)
A tip for starting disassembly. Retract the bolt. Set the safety on (back). Close the bolt slowly until there is a gap between the cocking piece and the bolt sleeve. Insert a penny into the gap. Let up on the bolt and remove it in the normal manner. Unscrew the bolt sleeve. This is normally enough for cleaning and inspection.
