Update. I got it back in thanks to this.

http://www.surplusrifle.com/steyrm95/bolt/hs.asp

I knew it had to be something about extending that front part forward. The thing is I wasn't sure so I didn't want to force it. But it took some pressure to get it to move and it finally snapped in place. I had it pop back the first time I tried to put it back in but the second time was a charm. Now that I practically took apart the bolt I think this will be very easy.

So my question is how should I clean this thing? I wonder if I can just take the bolt apart completely and soak it like I do with my Makarov's? It's basically just a mixture of cleaning liquids I got from a guy from the Makarov.com board. It's all metal so don't see the harm. What do you guys think? Then whats the best way to clean the metal on the gun and stock. I guess I should take the stock and receiver apart too?

Well sorry for all the question.

And one more thing....... I think you guys intentionally chose not to respond. Just wanted to see me sweat it out I bet. LMAO.
