I have an empty shell stuck in my AR15 chamber. I pulled the trigger and the gun went boom but the casing did not eject and is completely stuck in the chamber. It is jammed so bad that I cannot pull the charging handle back. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good gunsmiths in the Louisville area that deal with ARs. Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you try sticking a cleaning rod down the muzzle and tapping on it? It always works for me.

Yep, but the bolt didn't budge.

Hold the rifle pointed upward, grab the charging handle with one hand and the handgaurds with the other. Slam the butt of the weapon on the ground/table/bench/etc. Problem solved.

That's what I was told at first but it didn't work for me. Maybe I was just nancying it but I tried that method repeatedly on several different occasions.
