I have looked high and low for an answer to how to disassemble my bolt on my Springfield model 53b single shot bolt action .22. All the information I find refers to the "53a" model, which has a cocking knob that unscrews. The b model (mine) has a pined and welded knob... I can only see one way the bolt would come apart(two part bolt), but I don't see how it would go back on or how I would get it off (see pictures). I need to replace the firing pin because it is broken. However, to do that, I have to disassemble the two part bolt. Any help would be so appreciated. This is Grandpas rifle that I am refinishing to teach the nieces how to shoot. Thank you in advance.
