Found a good close up of the action including putting the bolt into a couple No. 4 rifles. Dunno if that will help, but it's something.
So sad your's doesn't have a bolt catch as that would be so easy to point out, rectify then
Another I just recalled reading up on things is that sometimes the rear sight can be set so that it interferes with bolt insertion. Not operation, just insertion. Raise the sight and see if that helps, also.
Text walk through and a few nice diagrams:
