Remington 78 sportsman model of mid 80s was a budget version model 700 that had low bluing, linseed oiled stock and no checkering on bolt knob. Later on some 700 ADLs and early mt rifles had smooth bolt knobs as well as Remington cut some costs making these actions. It was rumored that early Army M24s had smooth bolt knobs but this can't be possible as all M24 actions were manufactured long after the last smooth bolt handled actions were made and sold to the public. The M24 first manufactured in prototype in 1988 is a bdl action and no bdl actions were made with the smooth bolt other than a few very early mtn rifles from 1986

if you are talking about just the handle is broke there is just one bolt in it you just have to to look in the hole where the handle was and take the bolt out get a new handle and put bolt back in
the basic feature of the bolt release is so when your magaizne empties and you put another magazine in all you have to do is hit the bolt release and it will put a round in the chamber without you having to pull back on the charging handle.
7 Bolt, check the oil pan, if it dents in, then its 7 bolt, if smooth surface, its 6 bolt.
Raise the bolt to the unlocked position, then pull the trigger while removing the bolt. That makes no sense. The Model 60 is a semiautomatic firearm, not a bolt-action. The old style Model 60 used the operating handle as a bolt hold-open. Pull the bolt about 3/4 way to the rear and push in on the bolt handle to lock it open. Pull the bolt handle back out and the bolt will be released to run forward. Newer Model 60's have a bolt release lever that extends down through the trigger guard.
Removing the bolt handle is a bit involved. If you slide the ejection port dust cover back and forth slightly until the cut-out on the top of the dust cover is over the bolt handle top you will see the end of a pin. This pin holds the bolt handle in place in the bolt. Unless you have the ability to completely take-down this rifle and then re-assemble it to working order, and have the tools to do so, it is NOT recommended you remove the bolt handle retaining pin.
Typically, slide the bolt forward, and swing bolt handle down. Some rifles have a "hold open" feature when the magazine is empty. With those rifles, to close the bolt when magazine is empty, press the magazine follower down with your thumb, and hold it until bolt is started forward, then slide bolt closed, swing bolt handle down.
Bolt handle was provided as a back up in case the semi auto mechanism did not function. Which it frequently did not.
The bolts are always polished and may look like they're chrome, but the give-away will be the bolt handle. The bolt handle should be blued. If the handle is chromed, the gun has been modified, they didn't come in chrome.
Pull back on the charging handle. With the charging handle (and bolt) pulled back to the rear, engage the bolt catch to lock the bolt to the rear. Return the charging handle back to the forward position. Insert a magazine into the magazine well, ensuring it's seated and secure. Press the bolt release to send the bolt forward. Tap the forward assist a couple times to ensure the bolt is fully forward.
In the opening where the handle goes through the door panel you should be able to feel a small bolt. Removing this bolt will allow the old handle to come off for replacement.
