The firing pin and the extractor are back in, hopefully correctly, and now I need to put the cocking pull back in the bolt. What is the proper way of putting the pin back in when it looks like the pin has to pass through the spring? How do I get the spring out of the way? Is the spring supposed to be compressed? When I took it apart it didn't seem to be under any pressure.

Should I post this in the smithy forum?

Thanks
