Bolt handle was provided as a back up in case the semi auto mechanism did not function. Which it frequently did not.

The Gewehr 43 (pronounced Ge-vair) was a German semi-automatic rifle developed as a result of the need for a semi-automatic rifle to compete with the Russian SVT-40 and American M-1 Garand. Upon the G41's failure to compete effectivly against the SVT-40 rifle, the Germans took what the Russians did with the SVT-40, the G43 was the new rifle that replaced the G41, it used a similar system that the SVT-40 used, this proved to be better than the Gewehr 41 system, the G43 was more reliable and had a detachable box magazine as opposed to the 2, 10 round stripper clips that the G41 had. However, like the SVT-40, the G43 was very complicated, and didn't perform very well in mud, dirt, and significant changes in temperature, unlike the Russian's better quality (due to the the absense of mass supply shortages that the Germans had to contend with) the G43 was slightly less reliable than the SVT-40, and was too complicated and expensive to mass produce. When put against the American M-1 Garand in Europe, the G43 was a slight improvement over the K98 bolt action, but unlike the Mauser 98k, the G43 wasnt nearly as reliable, or as simple. The Gewehr 43 only had its semi-automatic capability going for it when compared to the Garand rifle. the M-1 was far more reliable even in the worst conditions, better made, better sights, faster clip loading and unloading system, lighter recoil, and was made of the finest quality materials, (since the U.S. was never effected by the wartime conditions and bombings of its factories) it was more simple to mass produce, very easy to mantain, and was general issue to all troops, unlike the Gewehr 43, which was only issued 2 units per company, and those rifles were mostly issued as a specialist's and sniper's rifle, as opposed to being a frontline battle rifle. For every 50 M-1 Garands produced by the allies, the Germans produced 1 Gewehr 43
2340 meters. See related link below.
Primary Australian infantry rifle was the British .303 Lee Enfield bolt action rifle. The Turks used machine guns on the advancing (charging Australians).
The M1 rifle is a gas operated semiautomatic rifle with an eight round clip.
There is no such thing as a Browning semiautomatic M70 rifle. The Model 70 bolt-action rifle was produced by Winchester, while Browning produced a very different semiautomatic rifle called the BAR. Which is it?
The Gewehr 98 is a German bolt-action rifle adopted in 1898, primarily used during World War I and World War II. It features a 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge and is known for its accuracy and robust construction. The rifle introduced the Mauser system, which influenced many future firearm designs. Its distinct characteristics include a long barrel, a straight bolt handle, and a prominent bayonet lug.
K98 Mauser is a type of rifle. Gewehr is the Army Answer No. The Mauser 98 is the standard bolt-action rifle. It held 5 rounds in a box magazine. The Gewehr was a semi-automatic rifle. The G43 (or KAR43) resembled a rifle that had a 10-round box magazine that protruded below the stock. The G41 was very similar. The 44 (Sturmgewehr 44) was an assault rifle that is very similar to the Russian AK-47. It had a 30-round clip that fired 600 rounds per minute. Also, the German Army was called the Wehrmacht. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karabiner_98k http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gewehr_43 Actually gewehr is the German word for rifle. A K98 is a gewehr. But when most hear the word gewehr, they do think of the G43, gewehr being a part of its designation.
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.
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.
The German Gewehr 98 rifle and its derivatives. The reason behind this was because of the Mauser bolt-action design that was used in this rifle was so reliable and robust that it was copied by numerous other nations. The American Springfield 1903, for example, was almost a direct copy of the Gewehr 98. Springfield was actually sued by Mauser at one point because of the similaries.
Barrett makes a range of .50 rifles, some of which are self loading (semiautomatic), and some of which are bolt action. The most famous of these rifles is the M92/M107, which is semiautomatic.
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.
Having trouble identifying the model. In 1979 (date indicated by your sn), Browning produces the BBR bolt-action rifle, the B78 single-shot and the BAR semiautomatic rifle in 7mm Remington Magnum, but none of those had that 117 designation. What type of rifle do you have?
Once you have the forearm removed you need a special spanner wrench to remove the tube/nut below the barrel. The bolt handle pin is then drifted out of the bolt and then the bolt handle can be removed from the bolt body. The barrel will now come out the front end of the receiver.
Remington produced the Mosin-Nagant rifle in 7.62mm X 54R caliber for Russia in 1916 and 1917 that had a straight bolt handle that stuck straight out the right side of the action.
