To remove the bolt on a British Enfield: Open the bolt and pull to the rear as far as possible. Grasp the protruding part of the bolt face and rotate it upward. Pull the bolt out while pressing the trigger. I don't recommend disassembling the bolt.

Is a 303 British Rifle a Enfield rifle?

".303 British" is usually used to denote a caliber, as opposed to a specific firearm. Perhaps the most famous rifle in that caliber was the SMLE, which is the abbreviation for Short, Magazine, Lee Enfield. There were several marks and models of British military rifles that originated under that designation, all in that caliber. They were made from prior to WW I, and continued through the Commonwealth nations (and former Commonwealth nations) into about the 1960s. So, yes, the caliber .303 British and the Enfield name are linked- but Enfield is not the full name of the rifles and carbines. Run a Wikipedia search on SMLE for some more reading.
