Yes having previously owned an A-Bolt I'm curious too.
Languished in a Scottish bog for a bit?

The bolt was not chambering the rounds so we took it out and my mate twisted the end and it’s locked up tight various guys gun smiths can’t get it re set ?

"Various gun smiths" or RFDs?
Sounds like something fairly simple to me that could be easily rectified by someone who knows what they are doing. Take it to a real gunsmith not just a retailer.

Browning A-Bolt issue
I have a Browning a-bolt 30-06 that I inherited last week. I am dying to shoot it, but am having issues with the bolt. There is a piece on the back of the bolt assembly that seems to be twisted into a position that is not allowing the bolt to close or allow me to twist it back.. It is part of...

Can't believe that you need a new bolt.

So Arron is flummoxed by it too?
Right. I have a rifle made by Callum Ferguson which came with a special
Decocking tool to release spring when storing

Pic 3. Bolt shroud twisted and now decocked

At the moment it’s not doing what it should
The chambering issue is a headscratcher, but first things first. When you say he 'twisted the dmd' what d'you mean exactly? Did he decock the bolt?
Does it now look like this?
Or this?
Correct
If this is the issue it can be recocked by hand and the bolt follower then rotated into its proper position at 6 o'clock to the bolt body. I can't think of any reason why it should be seized 
Me neither But will be tough without the bolt tool. Its easy to decoct mine by hand but impossible without the leverage the tool givesCorrect

See my other post. Without the tool my bolt would not shift and you would think it was seized also
