I am curious how the Marlin 336 bolt locking mechanism works. Is there a diagram or explanation online somewhere? What holds the bolt in place during combustion? Is it just the lever?

There is a locking bolt involved...................Take your Marlin rifle apart, and you may answer your own questions................
