Jaymo, Simply unscrew the small allen head machine screw, part #26, on the left side of the breech, be careful there's a small bushing, part # 24, on this machine screw. VERY IMPORTANT: When pulling the bolt handle out, be sure it's left in the down or closed position. Otherwise, the bolt plunger assembly, part #7, which is located on the top rear of the breech will get caught in the threaded machine screw hole (in the bolt). This plunger assembly engages a small detent in the bolt handle in order to keep it tightly closed. You'll see what I'm talking about once you remove the bolt. When reinstalling, insert the bolt with the handle end in the down position, there's a little bit of resistance as the bolt pushes up on that little plunger assembly that hangs down from the top of the breech. Otherwise, it's a piece of cake. Cheers. Steve
Ps. You may what to call Crosman to see if they still have any of the original bolts laying around, the original prototype Mrods had a
left handed bolt.
