Have a need for a gunsmith familiar with Remington 41 rimfire bolt.
Sentimental value of this gun is high,so my brother would like to get it fixed.
We both used this .22 for years until we got jobs and could afford our own guns.It likely has killed a semi full of squirrels.
He left the gun with his girl friend so she could shoot a groundhog that was eating her garden.
When said groundhog appeared,she got excited,pulled the cocking piece way back and rotated it clockwise(?) too far.The bolt is now jammed in the cocked position.
The lever on the rear of the bolt,that indicates cocked and safe position has been rotated about 90 degrees past the "safe"position.
It no longer is aligned with the pin that determines the 'ready to fire" and the "safe" position. Both the lever and the pin appear to be fixed thru the shaft.The shaft appears fine.
Sounds impossible and it looks impossible .
The bolt can be removed from the action.
We got the bolt partially disassembled but decided not to go past the point of no return.
Our location is SW Pennsylvania but he can ship bolt anywhere.
I can't find an exploded diagram of this bolt online and my big Numrich catalog just shows the complete bolt.
