Lately I have seen a lot of posts about how do I remove the bolt on xxx rifle. I just thought it might be nice to have a thread specifically stating all ways that I have encountered (and you guys too as I am sure that you have seen some that I haven't).
1. Older guns generally use this.
Pull the bolt back. As the bolt reaches the rear, squeeze the trigger. The bolt should continue out the back of the receiver.
*Do not squeeze the trigger until the bolt is unlocked. Dry firing rimfire rifles is not a good way to keep your firing pin whole.
2. More modern guns are now using this.
Look for a leaver on the action. This should release the bolt from the receiver when used.
3. Other.
Push the safety past its normal range when pulling the bolt out?
*I can't personally verify this but remember... don't force it or you may break it if your bolt doesn't come out this way.
