Well, I cleaned my rifle tonight ...
I didn't disassemble anything.
I used a cleaning rod from the muzzle end and placed a cloth inside the chamber to catch any excess solvent and to help protect it from any damage that may occur from the cleaning rod being pushed through the muzzle end.
It seemed to make sense at the time.
Then when I went to close the chamber, I noticed the action was completely locked up.
I'm sure it has to be something really simple but, well ... the gun is new and it's my first lever action rifle so I'm not really all that familiar with it.
I'm posting some pics in hopes that maybe you guys see something obvious that may be causing it.
