"I do have a Winchester lever action 30-30 that I rarely shoot. I usually take it to the gun shop to have cleaned. I'd like to have a step by step instruction for cleaning that thing. So how often should the internal lever / trigger assy be cleaned?"

"Do-It-Yourself Gun Repair/Gunsmithing At Home" by Edward A. Matunas has excellent step-by-step instructions for both Winchester and Marlin .30/30's. One single screw on my Marlin 336 drops the lever and allows the bolt to be removed. This lets me run the cleaning rod/patch from chamber down the barrel and out the business end. I clean my Marlin before & after season, and once again in the middle of the year. Hope this helps.
