Winchester mod 9422 bolt problems

[Deputy D]

I have a new to me Winchester mod 9422. I took it apart for the first time with a huge fail. When I attempted to reassemble, the bolt is now stuck, and I mean stuck. I can only guess I didn't have something lined up correct. I knew better to force or pry on anything. Hoping some can help....thanks.

Loosen the big screw in the left side of the receiver and separate the rear of the action from the receiver.
(In other words, take it down again.)

It should be painfully obvious what is stuck where at that point.

It is apart, the problem is after cleaning, I sliced the bolt in without lower and bolt is locked in place without the lower half.


Big Tks for the welcome

That bolt is a simple affair that tips up at the rear to lock and tips down to unlock, actuated by the bolt slide, which is moved by the lever. If the bolt is in the receiver without the bolt slide, you should be able to just pull it out of engagement in the top of the receiver with a finger or any simple (non-marring) tool. Once unlocked, it should simply slide back and out.
