I just received a new carbine length spring and checked to see if it's better than the other one. I put in a mag w/a round (bolt is held by bolt catch). Hit the bolt catch button and slam it went, now I tried pulling the CH to load another round the thing is stuck and I can't pull it at all. Now I have an upper w/a loaded round in there and I can't do anything...help please.

Is the Bolt completely forward???  Try hitting the forward assist.  My buddy took his AR apart then put it back together and for some reason unknown his got stuck and we couldn't get it loose.  I hit the forward assist and then everything released.  Drop the mag and try that.  If that doesn't work seperate the upper and lower and have someone pull on the latch side of the CH while you hit the other side with a rubber mallet or a block of wood and hammer.  The CH can take a good amount of abuse.  GL
