[QUOTE="rcrdps, post: 585815, member: 14348"] Per the AR jamming up. It is probably no fault of the AR. They will jam up like that when you put a shell in them from another AR that hasn't been full length resized. The action on an AR closes quite harshly, so if the shell is too big, it will jam good enough that it will take a screw driver to pry the action back open. I generally only neck size my AR shells once they've been through that AR, but if you put them in another AR, they might jam. Since the carrier isn't all the way forward, the firing pin isn't struck by the hammer. Once you've fired it, the saftey won't engage until the gun is cocked, but you can't cock it because it's jammed. So everything looks froze up, but it's just a stuck shell. You can get a flathead screw driver in through the magazine well to pry the carrier back. Try to pry against the carrier and the barrel extension since they are steel, vs the upper or lower which are aluminum. Naturally, you've arleady fixed it by the time you read this, but this is for the future or anyone else who has the problem. Gene [/QUOTE]
