The bolt carrier is stuck. I can't get it to de-####(eject). I took of the back cover off with spring to see if it would slide back but still wont. I can see the bolt lock unlock underneath the mag but just wont slide back. I had couple issues before but after couple cranks, it would de-#### but now it wont. Cgn has always been the best community so any help would be appreciated.

With a case still chambered? I've had a case get stuck that I had to take a block of wood to the charging handle to extract it and cycle the bolt.
 
I would do what nighthawk said. Sounds like a spent casing stuck in the chamber. A lot of 7.62x39 cases are lacquer coated and I've read they can stick to the chamber.

I've had a few like this with different rifles actually in the 7.62x39 chambering, I didn't know however that they were lacquer coated though...but I would also +1 the wood block technique I hate doing it but in desperate times we do what we must, I wrapped my charging handle to help protect it a bit as there'd be nothing worse than a bent handle to top it all off....then like has been said cycle it afew times then give it a good cleaning and inspect for damages....good luck let us know how it turns out
 
Secure the rifle and put a block of wood over the charging handle. Then hit the wood with a hammer so it pushes the charging handle towards the trigger (only if it needs such convincing). If it is a stuck case, give the chamber a good cleaning after you get it out. Steiner has suggested cleaning the chamber with Acetone to dissolve the lacquer build up to myself when talking about this, so I believe that should work.
