Stevens Model 66 - .22 RF

[ackley man]

Can any one tell me how to remove the bolt from a Stevens model 66 (NOT a 066, 66B, 66C) rimfire? This model has the finger groves along the forend piece.

The mag tube moves to the rear with the cocking of the bolt and forward upon closing it. It has a funky lever connection between the bolt and the mag tube. Depressing the trigger with the bolt closed does not work to remove it. I tried pushing the trigger forward like on a Winchester model 52 and that does not work. This one has me completely baffeled.

starting with "Got it. The pin that holds that U shaped cam thingy is also pinning the bolt to the feed assembly. Did not have a punch small enough for that."

I'm not familiar with this model. John

Thanks John,

I'll give it a try. This one really has me scratching my head!
