1: eject mag if one is inserted
2: pull charging handle to make sure it's cleared
3: lock bolt to function test (if new)
4: DEPRESS BOLT RELEASE, leaving hammer back so I can put in safety
(I am now aware this is unnecessary, but it has become habit)
5: disassemble upper from lower
In this case, couldn't get through steps 3 and 4. Carrier was stuck in RE, further than it should have been. I assumed it was locked, so pressed bolt release. Nothing happened. Which is the reason for my post. Was technically not locked, but stuck. I hope I am being more clear with my problem and not coming across as a total dumbass (which I'm sure it's too late for that).
