I got a spyer tlr and i was taking it apart tonight to clean it and the bolt is stuck, it wont come out. It is still connected to the thing on the bottom but neither of them will come out.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Take a stick squeegee or a dowel rod and put it in the barrel resting on the bolt. Hit it with a hammer or some other blunt object and drive the bolt out. More then likely there is a piece of shell stuck in between the breech and the bolt, and because the tolerances are tight, the bolt gets stuck. The other thing that could be happening is that there is a burr or gouge in the metal of the bolt. You get it out the same way, but then if this is the case, then you have to sand the burr off the bolt (and maybe in the breech as well.)

But first get the bolt out and clean that really well.

bolt might be f'd up, had a team mate with a bent bolt, not so good.

are you putting in the bolt with the hammer? sometimes, if you put it in with the hammer, they aren't parallel and for a slight V shape, causing it to wedge into the frame of the gun.

but if your bolt is actually broken....... check my siggy!

Alright,
I got the bolt out but now i have a problem with getting it back in. It seems like the back of the gun shrunk or something. The bolt slides fine if i put it in the front of the gun(wont go in all the way of course though)
You have to press the trigger a few times while pushing the hammer/bolt into the gun.
