I took apart one of my 870s to put a new stock and forend on it (which went fine), but when I was reassembling it all, something weird happened. I started the action bars back into the receiver, put the bolt assembly back in place and started to slide the bars the rest of the way in and they locked-up tight... "Locked-up" as in "won't budge". They won't slide in or out. I can't budge them at all. The bolt face is just sticking out of the receiver.
I've had these guns apart a million times and this is the first time this has ever happened. Is there anything (short of beating on it with a hammer) that I can do? Should I take it to a gunsmith?
