    This happened on the first round out of my Colt MT6601 in 1985. I had cleaned the barrel before firing, but not the chamber. We used a cleaning rod at the range.

    I cleaned the chamber on my Colt LE6920 before firing it in 2009. Haven't had any issues with this firearm.

    This was one of the biggest problems with the original M16s and test M16s under project Agile during the Vietnam War early-mid 60s.

    Reports claimed that effectively the guns turned into single shot rifles and many soldiers died trying to clear the problem with cleaning rods and sticks while under fire.

    Which has nothing to do with the AR's of today at all.

    You are correct in that assessment.

    Just so the OP is clear, you can disassemble the upper from the lower without the bolt being forward. You simply remove the magazine, pop both pins, and slide the upper forward. This is how you have to disassemble one of those Bushmaster Carbon-atrocities. I hate those things. I swear at least once a month some goof comes out of the range with a live 556 round stuck in that retarded thing's 223 chamber, and I have to disassemble it to clear it.

    Knew a guy that thought he was the bees knees for having the carbon Bushmasters it jammed every other shot .I tried to explain the 223 chamber and 5.56 chamber different size .
    he looked at me like I had just insulted his mother and told me "the elite in the Military use this weapon"

    that was the first and last times we went to the range together.about a month later the police got the weapon from him after he was busted with weed .they destroyed it best thing for it I thought

    Thank you sir. This was the answer I was looking for.
