Hello All,
I've searched, read and still would like your guidance (very nervous here)
I have a BCM 16" Mid length with DD lower and BCM BCG. Been shooting the last three weekends and have not cleaned the rifle in that time frame. I have put about 700 rounds of Tula .223 down range since last cleaning.
Last evenings range session started fine. Shot 30 rounds of Tula out of a PMAG no problem. Checked / changed target. Put in another mag of Tula. Released the BCG and a cartridge chambered. Pulled trigger and had a nice bang. Pulled trigger again and got nothing. Pulled back BCG to inspect weapon and it "looked like" no cartridge was chambered.
Pointed gun down range and charged the weapon....Malfunction. BCG did not cycle all the way forward. Pointed weapon down range and put on safety. Dropped mag and there was a cartridge "partially loaded" bullet toward chamber and primer toward back of mag well. I cleared the live cartridge out of magwell. I gingerly slid BCG back and noticed here was a cartridge stuck in the chamber! (valuable lesson learned here on how to inspect gun after misfire...very thoroughly)
The rim on the cartridge appears fine (not malformed). About an 1/8 of an inch of the cartridge above the rim is sticking out of the chamber. The primer is marked from the nose of the third bullet.
I removed the lower, bcg and charging handle. Have not messed with it since. I thinking my best bet is liquid wrench down the barrel and in the bore. Let the upper sit overnight. Attempt to "mortar" the weapon tomorrow night. Guidance is appreciated and a better explanation of how to get the round out (mortaring) without killing someone would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance and I'm sure you will help me out of this jam!![]()
