Field-Stripping an AK-47 Rifle (and Variants)

Remove Bolt Carrier Assembly
Removing bolt carrier assembly from AK-47 rifle. It has cleared the cuts in the receiver and is being lifted away from receiver. Now you just slide it back, out of the gas tube.
Slide the bolt carrier assembly to the rear of the receiver. It will then be aligned with slots cut into the receiver, and you will be able to lift the rear of the carrier upward and remove it by sliding it backwards out of the gas tube (the hole below the rear sight).
