dumb question, but you did..... remove the rear pin??
sometimes they can be a finicky lil bitch..slide it all the way back and pull out the breech face side first, just high enough to let the bolt handle drop from the bolt... it will fall out at that point. |

By rear pin I'm assuming you mean the buffer pin. OP, if you put in a Best Buffer or some other brand they tend to be bigger than the factory steel pin since they tend to get out of shape (don't really mean bigger since it has to go through the same holes). It has to come out from the end of the receiver to get the bolt back far enough to lift it. |

Not a dumb question but yes I did take the rear pin out. The channel where the bolt rides is too long for the bolt to come down to let the bolt release the charging handle. This is a real early 10/22 and I was wondering if they had clearance issues early on. My newer 10/22 has no problems taking the bolt out and if I remember correctly the last time I had this bolt out it gave me the same problem

If the bolt won't come out, it wouldn't have gone in. Rear bolt buffer/pin is what you need to remove. I will take a pic in a minute.
Here you go. Mine has been replaced with a plastic buffer, yours may still be the original steel part. 
If that is taken out and you still can't remove the bolt, see if the bolt isn't bound up on the bolt handle or something like that, and verify that you don't have something preventing the recoil spring from compressing fully, or that your guide rod isn't bent. Your bolt should be able to touch the rear of the receiver. |

I radiused the bolt (probably a bit too much, if anything), polished the bottom of the bolt, and put in a Kidd guide rod/spring/handle. The parts you can't see have better trigger/hammer/sear/springs, mag release, bolt catch, a radiused/polished trigger return plunger... you know how these things get. |

The bolt come almost to the rear of the receiver but it still won't clear the channel or the charging handle by about an eighth of an inch.

Does the gap at the rear more or less match the "overlap" at the front? And, forgive my pushiness, but you have removed the bolt buffer/pin indicated in the picture, correct? The 1/8" spacing sounds about right for that. |
