Another option is to place a block a wood against the charging handle and hammer it open.

What make is the gun?

If it's a parts gun, who's barrel and bolt carrier group are we working with?


It says Anderson Manufacturing , Made in Kentucky AM-15 Multi cal .



Jimmy, just so you know what you are working with, Anderson's is know for having some quality issues. I had a bad barrel from them (12 inch groups at 100), under powered hammer springs, and roll pins that would just split. Polishing up the chamber etc might not be a bad idea.

Also, it's possible this wasn't a quality issue. This can also happen with debris in either the chamber, or the bolt carrier group. Get a primer anvil in the pivot pin hole and it sure can lock up a bolt... whistle

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
