I was screwing around with my bolt, I know that's the first sign of trouble, and I rotated the back end, the shroud I guess, almost one complete turn. I heard a click and now the firing pin is fully extended, the handle is locked down and I can't get the bolt back in the rifle. How do I fix this problem? Thanks.
 
Using the hard edge of a work bench, catch the cocking piece on the bottom of the bolt, compress the firing pin spring, then VERY CAREFULLY rotate the bolt body relative to the shroud/cocking piece. A vice can also be used, but pad it with wood blocks so you do not marr your cocking piece.
