Hi there.
I have a newly inherited browning abolt. So i removed the bolt to clean it. Had trouble getting bolt lined up to go back in. I read articles re ensuring the bolt is in the cocked position. I’m pretty sure it was but in the process of playing with it I uncocked it. I could not get it re cocked by hand. I could only turn it abolt 3/4 of the way using a leather glove. As per common instructions, I used a padded grip and was able to turn it but it turned extremely hard to get the firing pin sear fully into the notch. I reinserted the bolt but now the bolt handle lifts and closes really hard. It seems really super tight. Any thoughts? I feel as though i wrecked it by gripping and turning the shroud too hard to recock it, yet it would not #### without turning it hard. So frustrating!
