M1941 Johnson AR Bolt Jammed Forward...

...after field stripping.

Hello,

Went to reassemble as normal after field strip and the extractor fell into the rotary magazine. No problem getting it out, but when I slid the bolt back into the receiver, the bolt jammed in a forward position and will not budge except to move slightly forward and backward. It seems to be jammed just forward of where it would be in battery. Gentle tapping with a mallet and wooden dowel gets no movement. The bolt cannot be drawn out of the receiver.

Insights appreciated! Thanks! 

Update: 

No problem! The bolt was hanging up on the ejector.
