Hey guys, long time luirker and first time poster. I have been a member on calguns.net under the same user name.
I am going to post my problem here as well I just finished a ar 15 pistol build. I used a Mega Pistol Lower, RRA LPK, for the upper I went with the PK Firearms sabre defense 10.5" upper with the RRA bolt carrier set up. I allemebled the gun and all seemed well. Everything moved as it should and seemed fine. I loaded a .223 dummy round in a magazine. put the mag in and pressed the bolt cath/release button and it slammed forward as it should. it loaded the dummy round. now when I went to pull the charging handle to the rear to eject the dummy round the charging handle was stuck. and I mean stuck. it had maybe 1cm of play to the rear and it stopped. Nothing I did could gt it out. I had to seperate the upper and lower and I gently pry backon the bolt carrier and it came lose and I removed the dummy round. I cleaned and lubed al the bolt parts, put everything back together and it seemed fine. Now people were warning me about the dummy rounds and yada yada yada. So I took it to the range at work. I put a live round in a magazine, loaded it and the same thing!!!! The dang thing was stuck again. What could it be that would cause the bolt to get stuck when there is a live or dummy round in it? Any input could help. Sorry about the length |

any chance of pieces from the dummy round in the chamber
Are your live rounds factory or reloads does the bolt go fully forward with the live round with the bolt and carrier removed, can you manually put a round in the chamber. do you have a 223 chamber or a 5.56 chamber and what caliber ammo are you loading when you say it stuck on a live round, do you mean you tried to extract the unfired cartridge and it wouldn't budge. OR do you mean it wouldn't extract a fired round. |
