Received rifle with the bolt partially inserted, and realized why when I tried to put it all the way in. It won't go in. I pulled up a video of disassembly/reassembly and took the bolt apart. I THINK it's right but not sure. Lubed it. It still sticks and look as though the bolt is being forced upward when trying to insert. Help!

Danny, I would check the bolt for abnormalities and also check the bolt guide for any obstructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qer8g0f3zdk

David M. · Answer

The bolts are decocked. You must pull the rear of the assembly all the way back and rotate it before the bolt will fully go into the receiver.

William F. · Answer

The bolt is decocked.  To cock bolt, remove bolt assembly from the rifle (pull trigger).  Hold bolt assembly in the left hand, pull back the bolt with the right hand, and rotate clockwise.  Bolt assembly can now be installed.
