I have recently inherited a Cooey 600 which I am sure had never been cleaned. I picked up a cleaning kit and proceeded to clean the barrel. I assumed this job would take 20 minutes at most. It is now 5 hours later and I still have not managed to get the gun reassembled. These firearms seem simple but I can't get the bolt to engage with the action. I believe there is a small block on the action that engages a channel on the bolt?

Also I am wondering if I have bent a part and it isn't letting the action the parts move freely when the bolt is moved. Something doesn't look right to me and I am wondering if this is the issue. The lifter for the tube magazine looks like it is bound on the piece to the rear. Can someone tell me if yours looks like this? Is the piece to the rear bent to the left on these or should it be perpendicular to the extractors?

This is what I get for cleaning a firearm that was working well.

 
Remove the inner magazine tube. The magazine tube goes back and forth with the bolt. The mag. tube has a lug that engages a notch in the bolt, to connect these together. Slack off the screw or nut the holds the mag. tube up against the bolt. Make sure that the tube engages the bolt, then tighten the screw or nut. Not so tight that the tube is jammed.
See that the bolt moves freely, and that the magazine tube moves with the bolt. Reinstall the inner tube with the bolt closed. When the bolt is opened, the follower should come up on top of the lifter - the piece on the right side in your photo.
 
Thanks for the replies. It appears bent to left the and it seems like the lifter should fall as the bolt moves ahead. It doesn't and that's why I am wondering if this is the issue. The bend is keeping it from moving down through the slot when trying to cycle.
 
Bent the lifter back and it cycles more smoothly than it ever did. It always seemed stiff closing the bolt but seems more smooth now. I may need to bend that part back left a little as I think it helps the casing eject to the right. After I straightened I noticed they tend to pop straight up which causes some jamming.
 
I purchased one from a pawn shop with the exact same issue talked the price down and saved some money knowing I could fix the problem. Striped the rifle down and bent the lifter back to verticle and filled some burrs off. My bolt is quite stiff to close as well but overall it's a fun rifle to shoot. I see why people say Cooeys are addictive
