Question - bolt decocked while removed

[The Oregonian]

Cleaning my gun, Borden action with Jewell trigger...while cleaning the bolt i accidentally decoded the bolt by rotating the shroud, I think, either 45 or 90 degrees. Firing pin is extended out of the bolt face.

I know it is a simple solution and have figured out how to fix it on other guns I have had but can't for the life of me get it back to proper. The bolt won't close while it is like this...picture to help.

I am no gunsmith so I may have gotten terminology wrong...many thanks in advance.

Watch this video. Use a coin in the slot in the firing pin to lock it open and then set the cocking piece into its proper position.

Yep, you have to manually recock it to get it to work.
I've used the edge of a counter top on some rifles, screwdriver, or similar tools. Be careful if whatever tool you are using decides to slip off.

I find the easiest method to re-cock a Remington bolt is to use a shoe lace double knotted so it doesn't slip, place a loop over the sear engagement slot and pull up with one hand on the cocking piece while rotating the bolt body with the other. The spring is STIFF, so, it takes some effort to hold it back while rotating the body.
With practice, this can also be used effectively to field strip a Rem bolt at the range or in the field while holding the cocking piece back with a dime or nickel, or similar. I have had to do this after piercing a primer and the piece stuck the firing pin back in the body, glad I knew how to do that before that incident took place.

Cheers.

Give it a good twist and they should be smooth enough you can do them by hand, other action are not smooth enough and I use a tool. Everyone with a Remington style firing g pin should have the tool so you can clean your bolt.

Many thanks. Just took a little force, which I was happy to apply once I knew I wasn't forcing something that wasn't supposed to be forced.
