Was the carrier still locked back when you started trying to take it down?
ETA: Wow, what a way to blow post 15000 :/ |

Drift out the hammer and trigger pins. Lift.

put the pins back in, then
release the BCG to go forward and try again. If nothing is broken there is nothing besides the BCG being back in the stock to keep it from being taken down |

The upper moved forward when you moved both pins because the BCG is back in the buffer tube and there is buffer spring tension against the BCG that is locked back.

If the BCG was forward, try breaking it by tapping it at the front pin over your knee. I have a couple of tight upper lower fits, breaking them over my bent knee works.

Push both pins back in. Rack the bolt. Put safety on. Make sure bolt carrier is all the way forward. Don't dryfire it this time. Pop rear takedown pin.

Okay. First, thanks for the insight. I've broke my Bushmaster down with no issues. First time on this Spikes. When the upper didn't just tilt free when I pulled the back pin, I then tried the front pin to see if that would open for me. Now the upper is tilted upwards and the back part of the upper behind the trigger housing is tilted downward. So, now I cannot just put it back down and push the pins back in and start again. Its literally stuck. I'm completely loss at what to do. I wish I could post pics to see. If any wouldn't mind looking, I could text some photos and maybe someone could walkme through this nightmare. Id appreciate any help. I cant get anything to move at this point.

You pulled the trigger, before you tried to take it apart, didn't you? Your hammer is hung up on the bolt carrier.

in case anyone else does this: re-cock the hammer by driving the bolt rearward, probably through the ejection port
go ahead and admit it everyone, we've all done shit like this before |
