I am not a collector. I have my own brush gun and open range rifle and have never felt the need to replace them. They are both Remington's one a model 700 and the other a model 300. My dad's rifle was a Winchester model 70. We both had the practice of removing the bolt to clean up after a hunting trip or just plane shooting out on the range.
Back in the 70's my brothers were growing up and becoming of age and I was in the Navy and dad was lacking one rifle for one of my brothers to use.
Well a ship mate contacted me about a rifle he had up for sale. A 6mm was all I knew it to be. I asked a chief aboard ship (Competition Shooter and Federal Fire Arm licensed) what is this and is it any good. For a chief petty officer his simple acceptance told me this was a good rifle at a good price. So I got it for dad for one of my brothers.
Well dad is gone now. My brothers never shot it. It is as in good of condition as the day I bought it and it now belongs to my son. He asked me the same question I asked myself 30 years ago.
So just how does this bolt come out?
Anybody know?
