Firing pin spring retainer

Hello Gents,

I'm ashamed to say it, but somehow, the firing pin spring retainer has jammed in the breechblock on my new Mauser Karabiner!

I went to push it in and turn it, but.....it's in there, and won't budge. The slot is horizontal, when it should be vertical for locking. I can't turn it to remove it.

I've taken these out lots of times. Hell, I even completely field stripped an old Conehammer Mauser, but..........

What HAVE I done????????????????

Advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Bill
