If I recall, I got a live round stuck in the chamber back in May. I would think that it warmer when it happened. It has been sitting under my bed ever since then. A month ago, I tried and nothing happened. Temperature is set at 76 degrees.
The only thing I did differently this time, was I twisted the cleaning rod that was also stuck in the barrel. Long story, but I tried to back the live round out with a cleaning rod, and managed to get that jambed in also. It was not a good day. I thought I was going to have to send the upper receiver into a gunsmith and pay some big money to get the round taken out. I put some twisting force on the cleaning rod trying to get it to move. It wouldn't budge. As a last resort I pulled back on the charging handle, and it extracted the round. That is the only thing I can think of that may have dislodged the round and cleaning rod. I may have moved the cleaning rod just enough to break the jamb or releave whatever pressure was on the assembly.
Other then that, I don't know. I am just happy to have that LIVE round out of the chamber, dangerous situation.
