Shansei45 posted on info on "The Military Rifle" produced by Hopkins and Allen circa 1907. I have one of these rifles and would like info also. I am very interested in the bolt for this weapon.

More then likely it would fall under the category, of what are known to collectors as "Boys Rifles". I know at least one book has been written about "Boys Rifles". You might have some luck by GOOGLEing, using boys rifles as your search term.
Parts for older .22's are quite hard to come by. It's was common at the time for the parents to remove the bolt as a safety measure. Because of this quite a number of older .22's are found without bolts.
Here is that topic:

[V]If my memory is not failing me, then I believe that forum member "Shansei45" passed away, last year. His last post was on 07/11/2012. I know that he loved those oddball guns, and that he was selling off his collection, due to declining health.[V] He was also known by some other handles, including "GevarmGunNut". He certainly collected some interesting guns![;)]
