Stuck case upon chambering.

[A Guy Out West]

I will be ordering the parts for the charging handle rebuild shortly. I will give an update after the Smith looks at it. It’s too dangerous for my thumb fisted hands to fool with. Based on the take down videos on YouTube, in order to take it down, you need to get the forearm off, and that requires the bolt to be pulled back, that’s a no go at this point. Every time I think about this situation, I see $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. I just don’t understand the brass spring back that got me into this. I had no problems loading the nickel plated brass, the straight Fed brass cases caused the problem. Ahhh well.

What a bummer! Hope you get it sorted soon.
