Hi all,

I have a 1939 german k98 (one of those russian capture jobs). I disassembled my gun to clean it and remove the varnish on the stock. So with the parts scattered all over my living room floor my roommate decided to "play" with it. Now the bolt is completely disassembled mind you with the extractor removed and he tries to stick it back into the barrel

. Now it's stuck, moves forward about a 1/4", moves back same distance. I think that he's managed to catch the extractor lug on something inside the receiver. The front of the bolt is protruding about an inch from the stripper clip cutout.

So is there anything I can do or should I look for the name of a good gunsmith? I'll post some pictures later on.
