Unfortunately, the stock doesn't have the standard width at the receiver end. I could probably buy a similar style clamp mount and modify it to work.

Never shoot other people's reloads.

Same as Nick. Chris Fry showed a technique (happened on my weapon actually) point in safe direction, brace yourself in a squat like position, grab charging handle and slam stock into your thigh while pulling the charging handle back. Left me with a bruise with it works. Primer may have been too high on the reload.

 

I cringe every time I see him do that in class... its gotta hurt...

 

Never had this problem, but if I do, I think I'll choose the ground over my thigh.

 

I have never had any hesitance at slamming the stock to clear a jam like you described... these are guns.. in some instances similar to those used in combat.. you should not break it by doing that..

 

I agree, but a I have noticed that some treat their guns not as tools, but as collector's items. I have friends who spend more time cleaning than shooting, to them, slamming the gun on the ground would be sacrilege.

 

In a class, I dropped my AR on the ground from about 2' above the ground in order for it to be used in a drill. A bunch of people gasped! "you just drop your gun like that?" what am I supposed to do? Lay it down gently on a featherbed... its a gun not a human baby.

 

If the bolt is completely forward and you're able to separate the upper from the lower, you could try using some kind of wooden spike or piece of wood and hammer to try to drive the carrier out through the rear. You would have to support the upper receiver in a vise or somewhere secure so you can really go at it. There was a post about this on AR15.com which I cant find right now, but that's what the guy ended up doing when mortating didnt even work. I believe the firin pin retaining pin somehow got out and jammed the carrier in the forward position.

 

Only problem with that is you are standing at the business end of a gun with a live round int he chamber and hammering something down the barrel...
