Once again, I have disproven the theory of something being idiot proof. I took down my AR15 and cleaned it. When I reassembled it I did not have the firing pin all the way in. I pulled the charging handle and the bolt did not go all the way forward and I heard something loose inside. When I tried to disassemble I could not separate the upper from the lower. I can see the firing pin loose. Both take down pins are out but the bolt will not move. I can't see what is preventing the upper and lower from separating. Any help is greatly appreciated.

BCG is probably partially in the buffer tube.
Try tapping the forward assist.

Yes Sir, he will have to loosen the castle nut and rotate the stock till is comes off (CAUTION SPRING UNDER TENSION) and when he does the the small buffer tube detent and spring will pop up and out also...Originally posted by Joey~AP View Post
BUT, you will be able to turn your weapon upside down and shake the firing pin out then push the bolt forward....then put it all back together..
the small detent and tiny spring will be the most fun DONT LOSE IT!

I see so many different jams teaching students how to fire. I have seen rounds half way in the chamber backwards. Seen bolts fall out of the carrier and stick in the chamber. If there is a possible way to mess up an AR people will do it lol.Comment
