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?

i have always just rested it backwards on the rifle, and held it in place while cocking it again. then you can slide it back in.
