Bolt Stuck on Beretta 390

I was cleaning my AL 390 and allowed the bolt to fully close with the barrel removed. I can not get the bolt to open. Please help.
Thanks!

Try taking the trigger assembly off and looking at the rear of the bolt. If I am not mistaken, there should be a portion of the bolt (i.e., rod) that is supposed to travel inside the stock which contains a spring. The spring is what pushes the bolt back in place. It might just be that the rod is out of place and it is pushing back against the receiver instead of into the hole it is supposed to go into.

Bolt

You got it fabs...you da man!! Or you can also just look in the receiver and see if it is out of the spring fitting...if it is you can take a thin screwdriver and guide it back to where it needs to go...then pull the bolt back and it'll lock back

Calvin,

You are more than welcome.

Skeet,

How does that saying go, "Even a blind dog finds a bone once in a while." Even I get lucky once in a while.
