CZ858 jammed

[Camo tung]

Took my 858 out to the range and had the first round of a mag stovepipe. I pulled the charging handle back and tossed the spent casing then let the charging handle go. Line up the target and "click". Hmmm, maybe it didn't strip the next round. Grab the charging handle and I can't pull it back to open the action! Dropped the mag and saw the 4 remaining rounds. Another hmmm.

Numerous yanks and the bolt/carrier will still not budge. I took a cleaning rod and slid it inside the barrel, measured and placed it against the barrel and made sure there wasn't a live round chambered. When turned over and viewed from the bottom of the receiver the carrier doesn't look like it's hung up on anything...any ideas what's causing this and how to free the carrier up?

Btw, I didn't see where the spent casing fell when I tossed it so I have no idea if there is a chunk jammed in the chamber or not. Ammo was the czech corrosive. This is the first problem I've had with this rifle and I wasn't able to find anything similiar already posted.

Ideas?

Are you positive there's not a round in the chamber? If so, pull the trigger todecock it if it isn't already, pull the rear pin, take the cover off. Use a rubber mallet to force the carrier back.

A spent casing could be lodged in the chamber due to foreign debris clogging it. You've ensured the casing is indeed spent so stand the rifle up, hold by the muzzle and kick start the charge handle.

If it's the old casing in there you've got good odds it's jammed. I once put a fired steel casing in a rifle before I knew better, darn thing stuck hard, and it was a bolt action so I had a leg up on getting it out.

Just make darn sure it's not a live casing in there.

Also, it could be a broken bolt lug. I've only heard of it once, and I believe it rattled a little, but seems it sheered and locked the bolt in place. Going from complete memory though, and I believe it was pre red rifles forum.
