Hello! I have a 110 in 5.56, lefty. Removed the bolt to clean/lubricate. Cannot get the spring/pin on the bolt to compress in order to re-insert the bolt. Any tips?

Thanks

Brace the cocking pin against the edge of a wood bench and press FORWARD & turn the motion counterclockwise to reset & lock.

It’s very easy when you understand the mechanics.

Another way is to follow what Vaughn does in this video. (Go to 13:15 for just the reset.) However, I prefer the one handed operation and a wood bench, as I outlined. Mainly because I only have ONE arm/hand to use. So..yeah Although this does work quite easily as well.
