Happened last year to a coworker. Thank God he wasn't using one of those crummy plastic magazines
These are rare enough that it’s a stop the range and everyone come watch kinda thing.
AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand
I sent the guy the video and did some virtual hand-holding by email. He cleared the AR in seconds.
Now he says I am a genius.
No. You guys are. I am just the conduit.
Thanks for the help. I had never seen this malf before, and now I know what to do.

Finally found the mortaring while pressing the bolt hold open instructions in the 1985 M16/M16A1and 1983 M16A2 operator manuals complete with sketches showing how. The 1998 operators manual mentions the malfunction, but no info on how to get it out. 1989 and newer marksmanship manuals describe clearing like Dano5326 stated.
The only thing mentioned as a potential cause I noticed while reviewing the manuals last night was slapping the mag up so hard as to jump a cartridge past the feed lips.
That definitely could have been the cause.
BTW, thanks for the input guys. Never to old to learn.
