I was cleaning my bolt and somehow I decocked it and the firing pin is in the fired position and I can't insert the bolt. How can I manually get the bolt in the cocked position so I can insert the bolt?

It's just brute force to push the cocking pin back up on the ramp. I use a piece of hard plastic to keep from killing my thumb...

If you use a crescent wrench you will find it much easier to cock. Open the jaws enough to go around the bolt body then just twist.

Push it down against the edge of a table or counter. Just not one the lady will notice gouges in.

Nice tip! Maybe put a thin rag between the jaws and the bolt body.

Why not loosen the bolt assy screw, put the cocking pc in cocked position, tighten bolt assy screw? No strength needed.

Clean bore patch works for that part. I bought a 4” crescent that I carry in my shooting bag. It has saved my butt during a F-Class match when I somehow hit the bolt just right and de cocked it. Quick twist with the wrench and I was back in action..
