Ok, I'm at a loss, I hope this is in the right section, I tried searching but to no evail..... yada yada yada I need some help troubleshooting.
Here's my problem.
The bolt on my M&P15r will not lock onto the case rim of the 5.45. This just started yesterday. The day before, I shot a good 250 rnds no hiccups no problems. When I took it home I sprayed it down with degreaser, wiped it down, blew it out with Air compressor, and repeated these steps with WD40, and Then CLP. Function checked and put back in bag. Did not run a chamber brush or rod through it.
I go to the range the next day, get all set up, load up a mag, and hit the bad lever. Bolt dose not go all of the way forward. Hit Bolt assist, and nothing stays the same. Drop the mag, lock back bolt, and see the 5.45 round, in the chamber. End up having to remove it with a dental pick. No damage to the rounds. Take the bolt carrier out look at the bolt. Take everything apart, and all looked good. Repeated about 4 times. Bolt will lock up manually with out a round in the rifle. It would not lock up even if you hammer the bolt assist.
Does anyone have a reason/solution for this?
