Hold the bolt catch down and tap it on the floor a few times.
Only thing I could imagine is the buffer spring retaining pin popped up and is hold the spring back. Curious to see what the problem is. |

Quoted:
My Larue Tactical Predatar has an issue. I left the gun locked open for about 3 days now and i took it out of my safe and tried to release the carrier and its just stuck back. The charging handle goes back but feels like mush, and the release lever is in the position it would be if the carrier were in the forward locked position. The guns been fired around 1,600 rounds and has been cleaned twice. It has never jammed or failed to fire for any reason....any ideas? it's ruined. Send it this way for proper disposal. |

Cpd I owe you a beer. I didn't even have to hold the catch down I just had to smack the butt of the stock and the bolt locked forward. I'm going to break it down to make sure there aren't any parts failures I'll update later. Many thanks for the quick response.

Another vote for Fireclean. I used it side-by-side with M Pro7 a few weeks back because I used to really like that stuff, absolutely no comparison. If you haven't tried it out yet, get some.

I haven't tried it and I definitely will but IIRC, Fireclean didn't do a great job on a corrosion test someone did around here. He tested a few different things one being Fireclean. Then "someone" didn't like the results of the test and forced him to remove the data from the post (which bothers me much more than the results to be honest).

She was having difficulty with ftf and mag changes. Looked at rifle and it looked bone dry to me, so I offered to spray some clp in it. I think it ran better after that. Other students rifles looked dry too. I like to run mine wet and just carry a rag to wipe down. |

Not sure about the corrosion test you speak of, but I fairly recently watched a corrosion test video posted on another forum that had FireClean emerge as the victor - and all of the "it" lubes were involved in the test. Vickers posted an insanely glowing review about his recent endorsement of FireClean as well. I think that's the same thread I found someone else post that corrosion test video in. |

BreakFree CLP has worked well for me, I see no reason to use anything else for lube. I'm using the older, non-aerosol version mostly, however I do carry the spray can in the range box JIC. I have not used FireClean, but have read good things about it, and Slip 2000's products.

It never made sense to me to put a cleaner in the same bottle as a lubricant. 
Back when I used CLP, I became aware of Breakfree LP, it is the same lubricant without the cleaner. For years I used Hoppes #9 and LP , but nothing has worked as well as the Mil-Comm products. It isn't cheap but quality seldom is.
