All,

I accidentally release the bolt-sleeve lock plunger on my newly acquired Turk 38 (Kirkale large ring small shank)... without first putting it into the "dissasemble" position (with the safetly in the vertical position). Now I can't put the bolt back into the barreled action (I have the thing stripped down), and I can't unscrew the bolt-sleeve.

HELP!!! What can I do to fix this???

If I understand correctly, you uncocked the bolt while it was outside the receiver. With the safety in the fire position, (laying to the left). If this is the case, you must simply cock the bolt by hand back into the fire position. Grap the shroud with one hand and the bolt body with the other and twist.

Yup, that did the trick!

Many thanks, density1.
