On Wedensday, I picked up my new Volquartsen Custom 10/22 from the gun shop. When I got home today, I tried to dissasemble it to make sure it was properly lubricated in preparation for goin the range tomorrow.
This is the first 10/22 I've owned, so I followed the instructions to disassemble it. The book said for routine maintanance you don't have to remove the bolt, but that seemed stupid to me (I don't think a rifle can be properly cleaned and lubed without removing the bolt), so I followed the instructions to remove the bolt. Anyway, the instructions said toi remove the bolt stop pin and while holding the reciever/barrel upside down, pull back the bolt handle all the way with the left hand and lift the bolt up to remove the bolt handle. The problem is that there is a small rail on the indside of the reciever, and I found it impossible to lift the bolt up.
Does anyone know how to remove a 10/22 bolt?
