I have a older German BSA that I cannot remove the bolt w/o the use of a dental pick. It is a very nice rifle, just that I have always had to use a dental pick to remove the bolt.

Does anybody know how to remove the bolt?

I know with some of the older BSA models you had to push the trigger sideways to withdraw the bolt.....

On mine you need to hold the trigger back after you have shot it

Open action.Depress trigger with left forfinger.Keep trigger firmly pressed,fully close bolt and then open and withdraw.
