Luckily the cam pin didn't turn on you and cause one of the worst jams of the carrier you would likely ever experience. Word of advise, don't try that again or you will be back asking how to get it unstuck.
The above is a mute point if you did remove the cam, but you didn't mention that you had so I thought I would share.
I have a couple of "show pins" left over from when we use to display the rifles, and we ground the end of the firing pin so that it would not protrude through the bolt. If they were not in the bolt, someone would check the weapon and it would lock up -- food for thought.
