Used to have this happen a lot on an old sks D. Pretty much you just have to ram the charging handle back. Keep it in a safe direction but run the handle up against a post or something. After its out, we learned to take a bore brush on a drill and do the chamber. Chamber gets a buildup of the wax residue on surplus ammo.

once mine didn't close all the way, only like 1/6th of an inch open, but as soon as i lightly touched the bolt carrier handle to pull it back, the bastard slammed closed, fired and launched the bolt back and the force of the handle damn near broke my finger, my whole hand turned blue. anyone ever encounter that little gem of a hiccup? i've never seen anyone else run into that one yet.

just one more lesson in the importance of muzzle control :s

i used a 2x4 on the bolt handle, hit it a few times .
