View Full Version : Stuck Charge Handle
So I had something really odd happen. I pulled out my AR after having it put away for a few months and I couldn't pull the charge handle. I really had to YANK on it to get it to pull back. I will admit that I put it away dirty, but the last time I shot it I probably only did 200 rounds. What would have caused the charge handle to stick?

I suppose old oil mixed with the powder deposits would make a sticky, sludgy mess. That would be my guess.
Does it move smoothly after you broke it free?
Yupper. After I finally got it loose, everything seemed to be fine. I should probably strip and clean it, I just wanted to see if there was something else I should check for before I shoot it again
