Excuse my ignorance, but I don't understand why not installing the firing pin would cause it to not lock/unlock.
I guess I never realized the cam pin actually interfered with the firing pin.

I'm going to have to try this just to say I've done it.
Maybe be tomorrow's afternoon project.

I'm new to the AR platform and let's hope I don't do the same.![]()
I have seen this many times. A good method of prevention is to shake the bolt carrier group prior to inserting it into the weapon. This will usually let you know if it is going to stay in.
Also, be careful before to ensure the firing pin is all the way in before you insert the firing pin retaining pin, if you don't, the firing pin can still fall out.
I think the best way to prevent these things from happening, is to simply read the Operators Manual. Become familiar with the correct nomenclature of the individual parts, their purpose, and how they interact with each other.
As mentioned above, if you are not completely comfortable with the disassembly/reassembly and function check of the weapon, without having to consult the Operators Manual, then have the manual open in front of you, so that you can reference to it occasionally to prevent making a mistake.
There are the little tricks like we all learned in Basic Training, like inserting the Firing Pin Retaining Pin, then shaking the bolt to ensure the Firing Pin does not fly out. Or pushing the bolt into the carrier, then flipping the carrier to extend the bolt. These are all things I still do to this day out of habit.
But again, the best way to prevent these things from happening, is to simply read and become familiar with the Operators Manual.
