Marlin .22 question...

[Sloth]

I've had this gun for awhile and can figure out how to get the bolt out.. On other guns it's fairly obvious.

Any one know how to get the bolt out?

I assume - you mean Marlin 60 rifle ... I did a short resume on takedown on this .. for another member ... go look HERE .

Hope this helps - let me know.

If a bolt action model, then not so sure .. but usually bolts release quite easily in one of two or three main ways. Come back with more info anyways, as necessary.

Looks like a Model 80DL or variant thereof from the late 40s or early 50s. I have a M80C made in about 1954 which is essentially the same rifle.

Open bolt and hold trigger to rear while pulling bolt straight to rear. The entire assembly will come out.

To replace make sure that bolt head is turned correctly (same orientation as when it came out) , hold trigger to rear to allow bolt to be inserted, and push it home.

Good little guns. The aperture sight is a nice touch.

My M80C was my first gun and I still have it. When my kids "needed" .22 rifles I went out and found them the same thing. I knew they were good and with a modest stock of spare parts they should be good for another 50 years.

On Marlin 81 you hold the trigger back to release the bolt.

But the one I have is mighty cantakerous - you have to wiggle and pull on the bolt while holding the trigger back, and then finally it comes out all of a sudden.

Don't know if they are all that way, but probably ...

Thanks a lot guys. I just took it out..probably for the first time in the guns life.
