The charging handle fell out and lost duck hunting. Found new one at Numrich, I see how it goes in carriage but if put it in, can't get into receiver? What is sequence or any directions anywhere? :!:

The bolt handle should be inserted after the bolt and carriage have been put back into the receiver.

Same thing happened to me one time...i couldn't find a new one so i made a few ( while at work doing a night shift) started with aluminum then switched to brass and stainless. They look awesome e-mail me for pics if anyone else had this problem.
