Probably hit the bolt release on something as you grabbed it, maybe another rifle?

Unload the rifle... lock the bolt back and tap the butt of the stock lightly on the ground.. If there is no mag in the mag well, it's gonna release with a light tap. It's normal.

Sounds to me like you've got a functioning ar then ;)
P.S. Little safety tip here... Note that (using the method outlined above) it will not release with an EMPTY mag in the well, but WILL release on a loaded mag, so don't ever count on the bolt lock back over a loaded mag for safety. LF |

whats really cool sounding is when about 200 GI's sit down on a hard gym floor with open bolts . It only takes a slight jar to release the bolt carrier .....
