Feets / Collection / My build Tikka bolt trouble
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?

The trick I’ve always used was to put the cocking piece in its channel in the receiver, but have the bolt backwards facing away from the gun. Then push down on the back of the bolt, holding the cocking piece firmly in its channel, and twist the bolt. Should cock it back into place pretty easily.
