re: Official AR-15 thread

Had a head slapper I'm a fricking idiot moment last night putting a new trigger one one of my ARs. Went to separate the upper and lower. Pull the rear takedown pin. Tried to pull the front pin to pull them upper and lower apart and the front pin is stuck hard. No amount of wiggling or twisting would get the front pin out. Upper won't hinge. WTF. I jack on the forward assist some. Nothing. I pull the charging handle back and I get no feedback, it's like I don't have a bolt. WTF, I don't remember taking the bolt out of this rifle. Look through the magazine well and sure enough there is no bolt. I pop the dust cover open with my finger through the magazine well. Looks through the ejection port... hey there is my bolt locked back on the bolt catch... *slaps head*. Sometimes I'm a fricking idiot
