Bolt Removal?

VTR996 · October 17, 2001, 09:13 AM

I bought a Model 67 single shot .22, very used, can't figure out how to get the bolt to slide out to clean it. What's the trick?

I may be wrong, but try pulling the trigger all the way back.

I've tried the trigger pull method,,open the bolt, slide back while pulling the trigger,and it catches at half way. It has a knob that you have to pull back too cock it,tried all combinations I could think of and even tried talking to it in a language neither one of us could understand...no luck...

Try pushing the trigger forward. If that doesn't work, have you tried taking it out of the stock and trying to see what is holding the bolt? I am plumb out of ideas.

I figured it out,,,it's a winchester 67,,,you just pull the bolt up,squeeze the trigger and it slides right out,,,unlike others I've seen where you pull the bolt back squeeze the trigger and it comes out,,the ejector assembly is not on the bolt rather on the floor and the bolt pulls against the ejector,,thus pulling the trigger with the ejector forward, it releases it..
