.22 Crickett bolt won't open

[Montell C. Williams]

A friend of mine brought me his sons .22 Crickett hoping I could get the partially open bolt to open all the way, any suggestions?

Break Free CLP? I mean, is there a physical obstruction or just erosion or what?

Do this at you own risk!

Unlock the bolt (if it will go that far) and take a 2x4 and give the bolt handle a smack or two to the rear (open position).

Not that its much of a help but here is a parts breakdown:

There is no corroisn, it appears in almost new condition but the bolt is about 1/3 way open and will only slide back and forth a little but not close or open compleatly. I am no gunsmith but cause I sight in guys rifles for them he brought it to me.

Do you have any idea if there's a shell in there?

[Montell C. Williams]

It will open far enough to see the chamber and it is empty.

In addition to the Break Free CLP that I mentioned earlier, perhaps a rubber mallet.

Is the lock out pin jammed in? The lock was for only with the bolt open.
does he have a key?
