Winchester model 70 bolt
I disassembled a winchester model 70 bolt & gave it a good cleaning. Reassembled and somehow the manual safety is jammed in the forward / "fire" position and refuses to return back to the "safe" position.
Can someone on this forum tell me how to remedy this situation? I have stripped a lot of bolts in the past 30 years, but this one has got me stumped. Guru1911

Safety lever problem
Please disregard my plea for assistance. I have contacted mr. Mark penrod @ penrod precision and he is going to correct the problem for me.

Future reference
You can also visit the Winchester website and look at the online owner's manual which describes bolt removal & stripping. Winchester will also send you a a manual free of charge if you email them.

Thanks cowboy:
Finally figured out what needed to be done & got the top end of the bolt completely apart. Appears as if the contact area on the inner curvature of the cocking piece, needs to be gently removed a little at a time, until the safety lever can easily move fore & aft.
