How to remove bolt from a marlin 783?

Answer 1

flip safety to fire open bolt pull and hold trigger then continue to pull bolt back to you. to put back in align it drop in till it stops pull trigger and it will fall the rest of the way inI'd call or write Marlin and get an owner's manual if you don't have one. That would be the best thing to do. I'm not familiar with this model, but usually on bolt actions, there is a latch located on the top left of the barrell. (assuming this is a right handed model) Just flip that up, turn the bolt to where the handle is in line with the barrel, and pull back. It should come out with very little problem. If that doesn't work, get in touch with Marlin.

The first answer is correct. Though having a copy of the owner's manual is always a very good idea. It is also true that most bolt action rifles have a release mechanism to extract the bolt for cleaning and maintenance.

Answer 2

First of all, empty the tube magazine and clear the chamber... always! Pull the bolt back firmly while holding the trigger back. There will be resistance at the normal end of travel for the bolt but it should continue to slide out. My 783 is fairly tight and takes somewhat of a "snatching" action to remove it. If you can't get it out, slide it back forward and again with the trigger pulled back, give the bolt a good hard yank back. You may have to do this a few times to get the hang of it but it will come out.
