Remington Lee HELP!!!!

Post by Toddkiger »

I just received my Remington Lee 30-40 Krag and I need help. The guy shipped the gun with the bolt out and I can't get it back in. Is there a detailed (with pictures) explanation on how to do this anywhere? I also need some parts....ideas on where I can get them?
Thanks
Todd

Here is a link to the manual in pdf (hopefully). You should be able to click on the manual and it opens in pdf.

It's really hard to state in words what you have to do. It's kind of like a card trick or something. Be careful of how the extractor goes in when you reassemble the dam thing.

Good luck!

Sorry for the brevity - not at my (admittedly 1879 - no longer own an 1899) rifle - but - two things:
(1) the bolt head goes in first, then the body
(2) the bolt must be in the cocked position
