I am looking for disassembly instructions for a Mauser Es 340 B single shot rifle, can anyone suggest a source? Thank you
 
1) Keep it pointed in a safe direction and open the bolt to make sure it's empty first. Finger off the trigger and lift the bolt to inspect.
2) While the bolt is open, pull it to the rear and with the left hand, move the ejector on the left side of the receiver which also serves as a bolt stop. This allows you to remove the bolt. Hey, it's just like the Mauser 98k!
3) Find a proper fitting screwdriver for the trigger guard and if you don't have one, file/grind one down to it fits perfectly. Two screws if I'm guessing correctly. Removing them and any barrel band (but it's like a sporter so there probably isn't a barrel band, right?) will allow you to separate the stock from the action.

I'm too lazy to go to the library to find images of the gun (its the next room over but the cat is happy pressed up against me).
 
Thank you for your response, I see I wan't very precise in my question. My need really is to find instructions for disassembly of the bolt for the Mauser model Es 340 with rotate safety. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Very similar to 98k bolt dissasembly. Cock the rifle. Put they safety wing in the vertical position and remove the bolt from the rifle. Unscrew the bolt plug/firing pin assembly from the bolt. (Note that it is secured with a ball and spring detent.) Place the firing pin tip on a soft piece of scrap wood. Compress the spring by pushing down on the safety/bolt plug assembly. Maintain pressure to hold the spring in compression. Once the bolt plug moves past the sear then that piece can be unscrewed from the firing pin. Then carefully release the pressure on the spring otherwise parts can fly. (When doing this step keep your face out of the path along the axis of the firing pin so you don't get parts in the face if your hand slips and the spring does its job.) Rotate the safety to the right and it can be removed. Reassemble in reverse order.

Extractor disassembly is similar to 98k but no reason to do so to clean. I would leave alone. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
