Cannot figure out how to remove the bolt to disassemble a winchester model 121. I pulled the trigger back but the bolt will not come out.

As I recall, you have to remove the receiver from the stock. Once you do there's a small lever just in front of the trigger guard that you press forward as you pull the bolt rearward. By moving this lever forward it lowers the ejector which is what is keeping the bolt held in place.

Hope this helps.
