A friend brought over his 1904. He had assembled the bolt wrong and managed to force it into the receiver, behind the locking lugs.

At first it looked like a fairly easy fix. Because of the way the bolt head is made, once it's in upside down, it's almost impossible to remove. He had already broken off one of the guides on the rear that are used for alignment.

I am going to try attaching a piece of drill rod to the inside of the head with acraglas and along with a cleaning rod from the muzzle end try to put enough pressure on it to get it out. If this doesn't work, the next step is to remove the barrel.

Has anyone here had a similar difficulty?

If you have an easier solution, I would appreciate a response.:rofl.

I already have the instructions for stripping and assembly of the bolt. bearhunter
