[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 1507600, member: 3615"] If it won't cycle with the buffer and spring removed then you've found why it won't cycle, it should slide completely freely. You may have bent the charging handle while yanking on it when it malfed (I've done it and it was shockingly easy to do) but I dunno about a charging handle causing all your problems. Check the bolt hold open lever and make sure it doesn't have a burr or something that won't let it sit all the way down into it's slot in the lower. If it's peeking up then the carrier won't cycle freely and your hold open may or may not work since it's jammed down in the slot pretty well by the carrier rubbing on it. If there isn't anything obviously wrong I'd send the dern thing back to LMT and have them fix it, life is too short to be screwing with something that should be working. [/QUOTE]
