I just bought a RIA model 20p (Squires-Bingham model 20) and I'm having trouble reassembling it after cleaning the storage gunk off of it. Sorry for long post, just wanted to give the details of my problem.
Basically, when I go to put the bolt back in, it doesn't slide all the way forward and the trigger locks up. The manual says:
> While holding the trigger back with one hand, use a nail or any pointed object to trip the rebound lever by moving it to the rear away from the sear in the direction indicated by an arrow on the rebound lever (See small sketch engraved on the trigger housing).
There's no sketch though, and I don't know which way to push the rebound lever. If someone has a picture of that sketch, I'd really like to see it.
I can see that even when the trigger is pressed (which is necessary to let the bolt in) there's a little bit sticking up. Here's what I'm seeing:

I watched both the Armscor videos and another by North Shore Scout on how to do this:
The Arsmcor guy removes the trigger housing by punching out some pins. My pins refuse to budge, so I left it in place (manual says that's okay) but it means his bolt doesn't hit anything when he puts it back in. North Shore Scout just puts the spring back and the bolt suddenly goes forward some time later for reasons I can't replicate yet.
Any help is appreciated!
