k98 bolt question

[greed647]

I just got a mauser k98 rc and was cleaning it up because it was pretty dirty when I got it but I released the firing pin ou tof the gun to check it, now i cant get it to go back so I can put the bolt back in. I know i know what the heck, but is there some sort of trick to this bolt I cant imagine I am the first person in history to do this.

The above link should help you, and no, you are not the first person in history to do this. I did it twice in one day....

Sweet, thanks guys it took all of 10 secounds after i saw the pics. i guess it takes more then finger force to mess with it. That actually was my next step I just didnt want to bugger things up with my tools so i asked here first.

Dont worry, its a mauser right of passage to do that

i did it my self, just angle and dangle it, it will fit back in, just follow instructions. its a right of passage.
