CZ 527 carbine bolt

[jecalzada]

hello folks,

I just received my CZ 527 Carbine in 7.62 X 39. the bolt was removed for packing/shipping. That is my problem; I can't put the bolt back in. I'm reversing the disassembly instructions, but when putting the bolt back in, the top of the extractor hits the top of the receiver and it doesn't go any further.
Help!!!!!!!!!

It's a Mauser, so make sure the extractor is rotated so that it is aligned with the locking lug.

The striker has to be in the cocked position, too. That can take a hard grip and a twist, if it has been lowered when off the gun.
