    BOLT GOT STUCK, HELP!!

    I just dis-assembled and cleaned the BCG. After putting it all back together, I thought about putting a spent shell in the chamber to check and see if it will eject properly but after I pressed the bolt catch and tried to pull the charging handle, it wont budge! What went wrong?

      Separate the upper and lower. Try to work the bolt carrier and bolt loose from the bottom. Take your time with it. Make sure your gas key is tight on the carrier. Make sure your bolt is installed with the extractor on the ejection port side, not all bolts are properly tapered for the cam pin. Good luck.

        I'd buttstock slam it, but that's just me... it's a rifle, not a woman.

        Wait... ummm... works for that, too.

          Yep...

          Grab the charging handle, pulling down, and slam the rifle down (buttstock side) on a hard surface.

            Oh wow! thanks guys. You're right uclaplinker sir, its not a woman. I was afraid of messing it up further and was being to soft on it. One buttstock slam and it ejected the casing.

              Just cause its not a woman doesnt mean the same tactic doesnt work on women
