.22 trouble

I just bought an older .22 and was shooting tonight and it was working fine then all the sudden it quit....I can cock it fine, loads the shell in the chamber but the fireing pin does not fire..its like the spring is not catching and you can pull the pin and everything out the back.....anyone else ever have this problem..Iv never done much for gun repairs..

Its like when its cocked and you push the action forward like normally and go to pull the trigger theres no reaction, click, no nothing and to me it seems liek when cocked it will push the pin and stuff back but when pushed forward nothing catches..

You have taken the bolt apart for you pics right? If not and you are trying to operate the gun in the condition it is in the photos I see your problem.

You see in the close up pic of the "firing pin" there are some threads on the shaft just back of the spring? They have to be threaded into the threads in the rest of the bolt.

While squeesing the trigger pull the bolt all the way back so it comes out of the gun. Then insert the "firing pin section" and push it ahead into the bolt and turn the threads together. Get it all lined up so it will all (as one piece now) go into the gun (you will have to pull the trigger again to re-insert the bolt)

Giver a go!

grab the guide pin on the rear section of the bolt and you should be able to twist it out. Be gentle! You'll need a small pair of vise grips for the next part. Compress the spring about half way and lock the grips on the shaft to give you working room. Insert it into the front half of the bolt and get the threads started. Now the fun part, you will need something like a small allen key that you won't mind grinding up. You'll need to thin the allen key enough to fit in the gap between the pin and the bolt body. Use the allen key as a wrench to turn the nut down the rest of the way, make sure you get it to bootom out, it may take a while be patient. Once you get it all the way down, i'd recommend a drop of super glue on the threads to lock it in permanently. If you are near the Red Deer area and need help with it, let me know as I've had to rebuild my bolt twice so I could give you a hand.

thanks guys, was kind of a pain but worked great !!!!!!!!!!
