Bought a Spikes AR15 upper last month and while cleaning/oiling it noticed that the extractor seemed stuck in place, it didn't pivot back and forth like I thought it was supposed to... I wasn't sure though since I'm kind of new to ARs.
I took it to the range today and it fired 1 round then jammed. The fired cartridge was stuck. I tried racking the bolt to extract it but it wouldn't budge. I didn't have my cleaning rod with me so I had no way to remove the cartridge so had to call it a day.
Any idea what the problem is? I'm supposed to be able to move the extractor back and forth with my finger, right?
