    how can the buffer move past the back of the bolt?? Impossible unless something is really FKD up.. something else is your problem.

    use vice grips and a piece of leather wrapped around the castle nut if you really want to take it apart.. but I cant see this being the main issue.

    Do the take-down pins pull fully outward?? If so, nothing should be stopping the upper from coming off the lower except a little gentle bumping with your fist... and maybe a pulling forward as you pull up if it is the BOLT stuck rearward a little.

    Why would you think it is the buffer?

    If anything, it would be the BOLT that is not fully forward, causing the gun to lock shut. I would put money on this. Bang on the forward assist and try again

    Buffer or bolt, unscrewing the stock will let it all drop free.

    CQA had a notch in the buffer that buffer retainer locked into. Will make it hard to thread the buffer tube out.

    If you lock the bolt back it should turn though... yes? Or just hold it back a little some how. One you turn it a half turn you are good to go anyway... Or do you mean the notch is in the buffer tube lip itself?

    take pins out completely and drop it on the floor, close your eyes and cover your sack its worked for me before, little redneck worksmanship. If you have an optic take it off.

    notch is in the buffer tube it self so the buffer retainer acts as a buffer tube anti rotation device. Meaning to unscrew the tube the retainer has to be pushed below the buffer.

    Take it back. Any reputable dealer will exchange a rifle that is only a week old. Once you start smashing things, that ship will have sailed. If you can, return it. This is a good enough reason to go with another brand...just saying. Norinco makes wonderful SKSs, this is not an SKS.

    But It won't open for servicing. It looks as though the buffer tuber has moved forward and is preventing the rifle from opening.
    How do I reseat the buffer without opening the rifle?
    OK folks, we now have two pages of comments
    Was it purchased from us ?? If so have you contacted us ??
