Inserting Bolt in MK II

[kanterj]

I just got an 1905 MKII and the bolt was shipped separately. I can't figure out how to insert the bolt. It seems that the extractor is out of position and I can't rotate it. I usually figure these these out, but this eludes me. I've seen a picture of how it should look, but getting there is the problem

Can you post a picture of what it looks like now? Someone here will have a solution. Tom

Solved the problem! The bolt head is pulled out and and rotated under tension as the bolt is inserted. No wonder one of my books says its best to leave the sucker in!
