I have a Bryco Arms, Jennings Jr. model .22 LR single shot rifle. I cannot figure out how to remove the bolt and can't find anything on these via the Web. Can anybody help?
The normal "hold the trigger to remove the bolt" does not work, nor is there any type of visible latch or catch. I pulled the action from the stock and there is nothing visible holding the bolt in place. Something inside the rear of the action is keeping it in place.
As a side note: it's pretty amazing how well this cheaply made rifle shoots. Using the BB gun quality irons that came on the rifle my youngest daughter (fits her tiny frame perfectly) can keep it to within an inch or so of a pop can at 45 - 50 yards. While this is pretty awful performance in the grand scheme of things, I think that's pretty amazing performance for a pot metal and plastic gun that sold for around $25 in the 80's.
Second side note: I'll bet this rifle outshoots most of the AR toting crowd I see showing up at the public gravel pit I'm forced to use as a range! But that digression is probably a bit too far and dangerous <ducking now> .
