I believe that what you are referring to is the ejctor rod. It is not the locking bolt. The bolt is in the frame of the pistol and indexes the cylinder. Anyway, Open the cylinder and tighten the ejector rod by hand. It is a left hand thread. That should fix your problem. Charles the Gunsmith.

It is the little part under the barrel inside the barrel lug opposit the ejector rod. It touches the end of the ejector rod(kind of helps hold it in). |

If I understand you right, then your problem is that the locking bolt does not move out of the barrel lug to lock into the ejector rod, right?
It has the bolt plunger spring behind it and I can only guess that dirt or rust must inhibit its movement. I'd try soaking it in WD40 and push on it to see if you can free it. Driving the locking bolt pin out is a bit tricky because of it's small size, but might be your last resort. |

I ran into maybe two Smith revolvers that the ejector rod was not machined flat on the end, causing a high spot which would hinder the cylinder from opening when the high spot was indexed behind the "locking bolt". (S&W nomenclature)
To verify, open the cylinder and spin it, watching the end of the rod for trueness. As far as that plunger it being stuck, you should be able to push it in and watch it come back out rather easily by opening the cylinder and using something non-marring like the wife's toothbrush handle, that will show you if it is in fact frozen in place. |

Yup the locking bolt is stuck, I can't get it to budge! I'll try the WD40 and see what happends.
