Depends on the rifle- some do not HAVE a bolt catch. On the AR15 family of rifles, it is the left side of the receiver.

How is the bolt from A British 303 Rifle removed?

The process is different for a Mark1, #3, and a Mk 4#1 or a Mk5 carbine. The Enfield has a bolt catch that must be released to withdraw the bolt. For the Mk3, open the bolt, and flip the bolt catch UP (it is on the right rear of the frame). When vertical, bolt can be withdrawn. For the Mk 4 and Mk 5, open bolt, flip rear sight up, depress bolt catch (right side, near bolt head) draw bolt back until under the catch, and release catch, which will turn bolt head up. Continue turning bolt head until vertical, then withdraw.
