Mauser bolt problem

[beb1954]

okay, I did now.. I was jacking around with the bolt on this mauser adn pushed the sleeve lock plunger in and it swung around. Pushing the plunger back in and trying to get it back around adn it won't budge.
Don't know if it is that I just don't have the strength, pushing the wrong way etc.
Can someone give me a clue what I am doing wrong, not doing, whatever and how to correct this problem.
My bro took his out and while looking at it to try and figure it out, he did the same to his now...LOL .. guess it's not funny...
If we had a third for pivot, we could make it a circle jerk. damn...

you've de-cocked the bolt. you need to re-cock it before you can put it back in the action. i'm on my phone so i cant dig up the link. go to surplusrifle.com . on the left menu bar go to the k98 page and you'll see links to disasembly/reasembly of the mauser bolt, and how to re-cock the mauser bolt. it's actually very simple. all you need is a screwdriver.
