I last shot my 74 about 3 weeks ago. Maybe 1K rounds, all suppressed. I came home, tossed it in the closet in my air conditioned house and forgot about it.
I grabbed it today to get to a case for another rifle and noticed rust.
No big deal, so I threw it back in the closet.
Today I grabbed it to take care fo the rust. I attempt to make sure it clear, and it wont budge. I flip it over and look in the magwell.
interesting
I took it outside and slammed the charging handle on a fence post until it bent.
It opened up about 1/2".
I just soaked it down with WD-40, and will try getting it open tomorrow.
So much for requiring less care than AR. I've left ARs sit for a few weeks and never had this problem.
Wonder if the ammo was corrosive?
