If you're trying to take a look at .net's source code, try referencesource.microsoft.com. Although it has been available for download for ages, Microsoft recently released this browsable version (Feb 2014).

Here's the source code for the two assemblies you mentioned:

Reflector has a menu option called Open Global Assembly Cache. Alternatively, search the file system for assembly names and you'll find the physical files. You can drag them into Reflector.
