.308 rifle won't go into battery?

[je25ff]

Edit: So yeah, I used para cord to pull the bolt back, and it will now go into battery cocked and dry fire (had to check) but it's a major weak click on that dry fire. I am wondering if I have it turned one turn too much. Check out this picture.

The back of the bolt is still unscrewed somehow

It looks like you kept turning the thing counter clockwise instead of clockwise. From the original picture, a quarter turn clockwise and you’d be done. Maybe you can just find someone in your area to look at it instead of a gunsmith unless the gunsmith would be willing to do it for no charge since it looks simple.

No worries about an ND with this gun since the firing pin is ready to fall out.

Je25ff - maybe someone can come over and resolve this for you?

Yeah, I'm taking it to a gunsmith, but I'm just tinkering with it. Good way to learn. No godammed way I'm firing a live round in this condition. You guys (and girl) are extremely helpful and ball busting. I appreciate it.

Edit: Yeah, the fp isn't even close....

My first? Hah...thanks. Yeah, it's just a matter of I have .001% of my time to spend on my firearms right now and this bolt assembly confused me. I have multiple firearms I can break down, clean, etc in my safes, just this one something just didn't make sense. I'd rather say hey I'm dumb once and be corrected than be dumb forever.
