I bought a 7.62x39 AR on gunbroker.com and got it from my FFL yesterday. It has a new Stag lower and a used Bushmaster upper. The seller said it would shoot steal case ammo fine except for Russian hollow points. I shot five rounds of soft point Romanian and it worked fine. I tried five rounds of Russian hollow point and it jammed on the third round. The bolt ran over the top of the round. I shook out that round and it fired the next two ok. I thought, that's alright I have plenty of soft point ammo and a SKS that loves hollow points.
Today I loaded up the 30 round mag with a box of Romanian soft points and it failed to fire on round fourteen. The bolt carrier was about 1/4 inch from being all the way forward. The forward assist would not move it and the charge handle would not pull it back. It is stuck solid with a live round in the chamber. The selector will not move to safe and the upper won't separate from the lower. I sprayed WD 40 all over the bolt carrier and it will not move forward or backward.
I need suggestions. I emailed the seller and have not received a reply. This is my first AR. HELP.
