ADCOM M855 62gr did it break my gun?

[gemo]

I was shooting ADCOM M855 62gr and then my DPMS build
locked up I pulled the trigger and it locked in the cocked position. I can charge the upper but the lower seems to be stuck, it won't release the hammer.
And the safety won't go into safe.

did the ammo break ,my gun?

no, you didn't break the gun, a primer probably popped out and is under your fire control group. Remove the lower and play with the safety selector and move hammer w/ your thumb up and down repeatedly to see if you can get it loose. Don't let the hammer fall freely on the lower but rather "thumb" it down. Adcom ammo has a tendency to blow primers...

I think I fixed it, even though it may just be temporary.
I pushed the hammer, while still cocked back, on all sides while pulling the trigger and when I pushed it to the right and pulled the trigger the hammer released and seems to be functioning fine, but Im thinking this is only a temporary fix.

I don't think a primer fell through because I looked at the round that was chambered and the round that ejected. Both primers were intact.

Is the rifle ready to go shooting agian?

I had a primer come out in my chamber. It took a few minutes to get it out. I won't shoot anymore of it.
