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.
Into the left side of the receiver.
To install the bolt in a 5mm Remington rifle, first ensure the rifle is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction. Pull the bolt handle back to its rearward position, then align the bolt with the receiver and slide it into place. Once fully inserted, push the bolt handle down until it locks into the closed position. Finally, check the action to ensure it operates smoothly.
Open bolt, elevate barrel, pull trigger , catch bolt before it hits the ground
yes, a new catch is needed for the gun, have a pro look at it.
It is a bolt action rifle.
If you look at the bolt face, a center fire rifle will have the firing pin located in the center of the bolt. A rimfire rifle will have the firing pin located on the outside edge of the bolt.
For MOST- make sure rifle is unloaded. Open bolt, draw to the rear. Press and HOLD trigger, and slide the bolt out of the rifle.
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 When vertical, bolt can be withdrawn.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.

The bolt action rifle was invented by Scottish immigrant James Paris Lee.
To install the bolt on a Remington Model 700, first ensure the rifle is unloaded and the safety is engaged. Align the bolt with the receiver and insert it at an angle, ensuring the bolt sleeve engages properly with the receiver's locking lugs. Once positioned, rotate the bolt handle down until it locks into place. Finally, check the action to confirm it cycles smoothly and the safety functions correctly.
Look up the Swiss Schmidt-Rubin military rifle, or the Blaser sporting rifle for examples. It is a bolt action rifle in which the shooter manipulates the bolt by pulling straight back instead of up and back.
