22 rifle w/o an extractor
The Gevarm 22 semi-auto is fed by a clip containing 8 rounds. When the action is open it is ready to fire, if you pull the bolt back slightly and push the cocking knob it goes to "safe". Unloading is just simply pulling the clip out. Pull the cocking knob out the bolt slides forward slightly engaging the trigger sear and is ready to fire. This is one of the few actions that an open action is a ready to fire action. The bolt has a machined ridge that runs vertically, this is the firing pin, the spent 22 brass looks like it has been stamped (|), pardon my attempt at graphics. I am not sure whether this firing ridge is critical in the ejection process but the rifle seems to work without stovepiping.

If there is a live round in the chamber,is it possible to take it out? [:)]

When the trigger is pulled the bolt comes forward and picks up a round out of the clip and fires it. The round does not sit in the chamber like a regular semi-auto handgun/rifle. If there were a mis-fire or a round accidently pushed into the chamber, you would have to unscrew the rear of the action and remove the bolt, cross-bolt knob, weight and spring to proof the firearm so it would not fire, then go in from the muzzle with a brass rod to dislodge the live round. 0 -

Gevarm .22rf rifles Model E1, E2, A3, A4 and A6 all fire on the open bolt with only 3 moving parts. Models E1 and E2 are take-down versions and have alloy receivers painted with crinkle black paint. All others have steel receivers. The milled ridge in the face of the bolt is the "firing pin" giving it a very effective "DOUBLE ignition." The lips of the magazine act as the "ejector" while the blow-back is the "extractor." Only the E1 and E2 models will accomodate both 8-rd. and 20-rd. mags with no modification to the mag well. The E models are fantastic little fun guns and seem to eat anything in lr. The E1 sold for $49.50 at Kmart in the '60s. Extra mags (either capacity) were $10. A 20-rd mag is now in the $175 - $200 range - when you can find them.
Here's my E1 in take-down mode, with both mags.
