So, I was shooting yesterday when all of the sudden, my bolt wouldn't return to battery. My bolt is now stuck to a degree. It will move forward and backward, but only about an inch. I don't know if something is stuck in there binding things up or not. Anyone have any suggestions? This is my first AR. I put the lower together myself, but bought the complete upper. It is a Spikes Midlength Upper. I'm kind of worried that buying that cheap shit Tula ammo may have dicked me over here somehow. Anyways, here are some pictures. I can't see anything that shouldn't be there.

Possibly a primer stuck in there somewhere.



does your charging handle still move freely?

That was my exact though.

OP,

If you send it in we will check it out.

That is what I was thinki as well. I posted this in Discussion as well, and one member suggested take a rubber mallet to the Forward Assist. It worked, but this came out along with my bolt. Anyone know what it is?

That's part of the forward assist assembly I think.
