I think I must be going crazy or maybe im just having an insane moment, but I own 2 303's. One in .303 and one a 303/22 cadet rifle. I have had the .303 for a couple of years and the 303/22 a month or so. I have never had any trouble with either until I removed the bolts so the rifles could be used by school kids (with my supervision) to make a short movie on Gallipoli. I guess the bolts were out of the guns for about a week and now when I try and put them back in they wont go. The bolts slide beautifully but I cant close the bolts! Its like the ejector of the bolt head is stopping it. I first noticed it as I put the bolt back in the 303/22 and the bolt would just not close, so I gave up and went to put the other bolt in and the same thing. Whats going on?? am I just having a blonde moment or have I inadvertently done something?

Cheers
