jammed wasr while cleaning

[1trojan]

I managed to jam the wasr10 while field stripping and lubing it. I was having trouble with the position of the bolt and bolt carrier re-install. So while messing with it, I released the hammer to see how the carrier fits with the bolt in.

It's in but i can't get the carrier out with the gas piston in gas tube.
Is there a fix to this? Can a gunsmith fix this?

Thanks

Where is it stuck?

Is the carrier forward or backward of the hammer?

Is the piston hanging up on something?

Pix would be great. AKs are simple. Im sure once we see it it will be an easy fix.

I have no idea what you're talking about. The bolt carrier is forward? You pulled the trigger and now the hammer is forward, and the bolt carrier won't move back when you rack it, correct?

Thanks for the replies

The carrier and bolt is behind the hammer. Seems like since the hammer is in a uncocked position there's no room for the carrier and bolt to move back and up, the gas piston is still contacting the gas tube.

I'm working on pictures, charging my camera.

The hammer is in front of the bolt carrier uncocked? How did you do that? Is the bolt installed on the bolt carrier?

How did you get the beans above the frank?

What part of the state are you in? I'm sure that someone close to you can meet you somewhere and help you fix it. After all, it's just an AK. Any 6 year old who lives in a cave can fix it with nothing more than twigs and rocks. Hey, if you can make it to Angeles range this Sunday, I bet one of us can help you. Let me know if you are anywhere near there and can make it. If so, I'll bring some basic tools.

If you're in the bay area let me know...sounds like something that happened to me...the slide/bolt might not have been fully seated when you dropped the hammer...causing the "Fanks & Beans" scenario

Maybe it is just hung up on the rails. Im going to try and get my hammer uncocked with my carrier behind it. This should be good for a laugh.

Ok, after some fooling around, Ive come to the conclusion that it is impossible to uncock the hammer while the bolt carrier is behind it. The only way that hammer will fall is if the bolt and carrier are locked. If it is ALREADY uncocked, however, the carrier may be inserted and ride the rails about an inch. If your carrier is behind a cocked hammer, it had to go in somehow. Check both sides to make sure they are right against the rails. Try and feel for any real heavy friction. It will come out.

If you are in the Sac area, I would be more than happy to come help.

You know, I re read your post. It sounds like you are saying there isnt enough room due to the piston being in the way, right?

I dont see how thats possible. There is so much room for that piston to move around Im betting if you had a midget handy he could walk in there and tell you himself. The carrier rides the rails, and at the very end of the receiver the rails taper off to allow the carrier out. You should be able to slide the carrier to the end, then lift it out. Sometimes it takes a little gusto. Just remember, its an AK.

This is the most confusing thread ever.

Just toss it on the ground really hard. that will unjam it.

How did you get the beans above the frank?
