When I took the firing pin and cam pin out, the bolt would not come out of BCG... Stuck solid...then when I did get it out, the extractor was stuck solid too.
Lots and lots of cleaning and soaking and then a long class given to the owner on how to maintain an AR .....
Was it rusted? Ive been shooting ARs since the 1980s in high volume across a wide range of conditions, from desert to jungle, mountains and arctic, including suppressed.
Ive never seen an AR-15, M-16, or M4 BCG so fouled that we couldnt get it apart.
Do you live in a humid area and is the BCG nitrided?
Im interested what kind of BCG it is.
