A bolt that rotates 120 degrees should provide enough camming action to extract.
A different barrel extension would probably be needed as well as a solid bolt.
A short bolt that only extends to the back of the firing pin would allow rotation to slide sideways along the hammer face.
Pulling the bolt back recocks the hammer, as usual.
I think this could be done rather easily.
A modified receiver, barrel and bolt should be all that is necessary.
An AR with gas tube removed can be used as a straight pull bolt action without the camming action to extract.
