Okay, I made a mistake. I left my AK in the basement for a couple weeks, and the humidity and moisture caused some light surface rust. But the worst part is that the bolt was shut (On an empty chamber). Now the bolt won't release and cycle. I've tried to rack it but can't, and even took a mallet to it carefully. I'm kind of at a lose of what to do next. I tried some break free on it, and am letting it sit for a bit.
What would you guys suggest I do? |

| I've had to hit this funny monkey before, pour lube down the barrel and on the bolt, anywhere you can, put the stock on the ground, barrel facing up, safety off and stomp the charging handle. do not wear crocs when you do this, the charging handle will punch through the bottom. don't ask me how I know |
