I need help on my Steyr SBS. I cleaned the bore and I can't put the bolt back in. Looks like the safety bushing moved out of place. Anybody knows how to fix this. Thanks.

Steyr SBS Trouble

Bolt Collar Alignment
One of the features of the Steyr Scout's SBS action is the rotating collar that encircles the extractor area of the bolt when the bolt is shut to strengthen the action. It is normally self aligning but can be turned when the bolt is removed if a tight fitting brush is used to clean the chamber. If this happens the bolt won't close when it is reinserted in the action. To correct this simply stick your finger or a tight fitting patch on a rod into the breach area and rotate the collar until the lug recesses align with the receiver slots. Note that the collar has a relief cut on one side. The relief cut should align with the extractor to provide proper clearance. NOTE: The relief cut is not the narrow slot in the collar, it is almost opposite that slot.

Steyr SBS
Thank you very much Coloscout. That is really helpful. Suddenly, the sky brightens up on my favorite rifle. Just like Swansea said, the manual points the owner who's in trouble to a qualified gunsmith. They can charge me a hundred dollars and I won't even mind hadn't you replied on this post. Thanks again.
