Mutt rifle and parts, simply put I went to the range today, fired about forty rounds, no problems, disassembled, cleaned, then bolt would not go back into bolt carrier. Really tight, barely would fit. Again, mutt rifle and parts, so I replaced the gas rings, same problem. Checked inside carrier, no obstruction. have never had a problem with this rifle. Suggestions?

thanks

The bolt heated up and expanded, let it cool and watch it slide in

It was about two hours after I was shooting that I cleaned it - sorry, I should have been more specific

Sometimes you have to wiggle it around to get the bolt tail to line up with the hole to push it in.
Sorta like
