Hi, I was referred to this site by Charles B. on Culvers shooting forum.
My grandson put one of my 22-250 rounds into his 223 ranch rifle (late 1990 model). I tried to rack it out, then, The "bolt" came out of the rifle.
I watched utube to see how to install the bolt, but I'm stuck on step #1 (the trigger assembly unlatches 1/2" but will not come-out.). If I pry the guard any harder, it will surely bend. Also, it seems that the safety will not engage with the bolt out.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. The guys on Culvers can't believe that the bolt came out while the trigger assembly is IN.
Thanks, Tom
