I just recently purchased a Bushmaster M4 Carbine with 14.5" Barrel. After shooting it for the first time with wolf ammo no less, I wanted to scrub it down and remove all the grime. After giving it a good cleaning I reassembled it and oiled the bolt and charged the gun. The bolt went all the way to the stock, but wouldnt move, nor would it dislodge from the buttstock. I looked down and to my disbelief, I saw the recoil spring on the ground. I had forgotten to re-install it before assembling my rifle! I thought I had permenantly damaged my new toy. After trying to dislodge the bolt from the stock and removing the take down pins the bolt still was jammed. I finally pointed the muzzle directly and the carpet and gave it a good whack and it came loose. I must have drank 5 beers and sweat about 5 pounds in the belief I had ruined my rife. Everything is fine now, no problems. I just thought this was a funny story to share in case anyone else encountered this problem.
