Broke my Marlin 795

[Sparky485]

A few weeks ago, I took my friend's 14 year old daughter to the range to try some shooting. She really seemed to enjoy my .22 so we spent the afternoon plinking and popping balloons. Probably around the 3rd round of the 20th or so mag it decided to give up the ghost. The bolt is stuck open and the firing pin looks like it is sticking out about 1/2". Is this easily repaired or will it be an expensive repair? The gun only costs about $160.00 to replace. Any thoughts?

By the looks of the pic that isn't the firing pin its the ejector. Does the bolt handle move at all? Like wiggle? From the pictures it looks like the bolt handle is got the bolt locked back. Pull the bolt back and pull the bolt handle out and it should slide forward.

I feel like an idiot. I don't know about the inner workings of firearms, I just like shooting them. I didn't even know the bolt handle pulled out. It worked like a charm. I've put thousands of round through it and that never happend before. Thanks braden.
