I cant seem to get the bolt back in? See that little notch sticking out of the carrier prevents the bolt from going back in. Any ideas. I know Im doing something wrong haha.

Hmm my thumb nail is looking a little scraggly.

You're gonna have to pry that lever up and push the bolt head back in, then rotate it back to normal. Common rookie mistake. You can use channel-locks and clamp in the other end of the lever to allow sliding it in as well. Just remember to pad the pliers so as not to scratch up the bolt carrier. Just don't push it in too far cause then the roller will lock out and you won't get it back in the receiver. You can force it in backwards to unlock the bolt head but that's not something that I like to do very often.
