Mauser M98 Bolt Stuck, Need Your Help - 09/17/22
I am not sure how I did this, but the bolt is now “stuck” and cannot be lifted out of the in-battery position. When I inserted the bolt into the receiver, I heard a click and both the cocking piece and safety came loose at the same time. I have never reefed on anything so I doubt if anything is broken.
I am not sure that I had the safety in the upright position when I inserted the bolt
bolt sleeve plunger’s pin is now all the way to the rear of the bolt sleeve, photo 1, should it be in this position?
extractor is in its correct position over the safety lug to pull the bolt out
sleeve is in the correct position, too, as far as I can tell, to pull the bolt out, photo 2
safety just “freewheels” in its slot and can be easily pulled out to the rear except when I push it to the far left side where it cannot be pulled rearward
bolt release mechanism seems to operate just as before, photo 3
What can I do to get the bolt to lift and retract the bolt?
