Tikka bolt trouble

[u/Zen_Bonsai]

Hey team.

Cleaned my Tikka T3X for the first time. Accidentally twisted the housing on the bolt body. Heard a loud click and now it's stuck in this position.

I think I may have accidentally dry fired the bolt while.it was disassembled.

Any tips on how to get it back?

Happened to me too. The videos on fixing this are shit. I had to use a solid plywood edge to press the pin back and turn it back into place. Find a video that shows bolt disassembly, and determine which way the bolt needs to turn to go back the other way. Press it in with some heft and turn the correct way.
