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?

Easiest will be looking at a youtube video before someone on here tries to direct you, will be a push the black into the bolt and twist left. Usually have to put a decent ish amount of force, have done it with my CZ’s enough times but they have a tool that comes with it

Do you know what terminology I should use to find the video? I tried searching and ontl found only found apart and reassembly without making this mistake. One even said not to do this, but didn't say how to fix it
