On another board, guy has an issue with his firing pin stuck to the rear. AK-47 bolt carrier

I'm in the camp that either a piece of casing or molten metal is stuck inside the bolt. Not sure if he has any flame cutting that would cause the latter.

Pic will be posted at bottom, I told him to tap the firing pin lightly. I m fairly certain with it sticking out, he can't remove the carrier from the rifle.

So, if the carrier is stuck, he can't remove it and take it apart to get the bolt off and take it apart.

Any suggestions on this? Other than beating on the firing pin mercilessly to drive it in.

Is this a SAM5 by chance?
I guess that don't matter, because either the firing pin broke, or the retaining pin is broke or missing. The firing pin can not hang out that far if everything was good.
