I was cleaning my 03a3 and when I reassembled it I accidentally put the bolt in with the extractor at the 12 o’clock position instead of the 3 o’clock. Now I can’t remove the bolt. Can anyone help my with this? Thanks.

Can you rotate the bolt handle upward?
First thing I’d try is soak the bolt in Kroil as best I could and get my sand hammer and oh so gently try and tap it out. Maybe get a brass rod down the barrel and try that way too.
I heard a range tale about a guy wh supposedly used liquid nitrogen to freeze and contract a stuck bolt. Again and unverified range story. Good luck brother.
Have you tried extracting the bolt with the trigger depressed?
