I have a Sig AR15 that locked up after a jam yesterday. I can't pull the slide back so I need to take it to a gunsmith to have him take a look at it.

Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith in the New Orleans area?

Bang the buttstock end on the ground while pulling the charging handle, and it will break free.

Thanks for the great advice. That worked like a charm but it still sticks every time it goes back to that position. I'm going to give it a good cleaning and oil everything to see if that helps.

After giving it a good cleaning and oiling everything works perfectly except the safety.

You can only switch between safety and fire when the slide is pulled back.

Any ideas what causes this?

He closed down that location around November of 2013 because he was slammed with all the work from the movie sets. Spoke with him a couple months ago to see if he set up shop somewhere else and he hadn't yet. Not sure when he will beback up and running

The safety on an AR can only be put on safe if it is in battery. Like if you pull the latch and charge it, then pull the trigger you can't put it on safety till you pull the latch again.

thats one of my brothers best friends...I believe he still holds the lease at that address as his FFL address is still the same on the BATF website...IIRC you cannot maintain an FFL without a valid address...he is hardly ever there due to the movie thing like you mentioned...that phone number is the correct number for anyone looking to get in touch with him...

And yes the safety cannot be activated unless the hammer is back.
