Q:

Cz452 Varmint bolt won’t release to remove?

Last night I decided to remove the bolt to check the extractors. Looked @ the bolt only, didn’t turn the bolt handle, disassemble or remove extractors.

When reinstalled bolt, pulled trigger, while closing the bolt to allow firing pin into the fired position. I uncock all guns before storing em.

While bolt was closing, something didn’t seem normal. Didn’t force bolt. Raised the bolt and could not pull it back? Closed bolt and pulled trigger, firing pin didn’t snap? Opened bolt, pulled trigger, bolt would not move back out of receiver? Bolt handle will raise and close, but bolt wont open? Tried several times being careful not to use great force on bolt or pulling trigger.

Solution: Removed action from stock, used small thin flat blade screw driver to cycle sear, which released the bolt…..? Back to normal!
