Whilst firing my first string of the day, I got off about 15 rounds, slow-fire and this happened!http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a1/Sling_A_Stoner/b4f3dd10.jpg
It was running fine, and then no go, no stovepipe, no mis-feed, just an open bolt.   I've pounded on the forward assist, the charging handle comes back to the bolt and STOPS.  I've beat on the receiver with the heel of my hand, shaken it, and basically done everything short of grabbing it by the barrel and beating it on the deck.  Please, will all of you in your infinite knowledge help me fix my baby?  Thank you.

The problem was uncovered in his duplicate post in another forum. It turned out to be his buffer retainer wasn't properly installed after a buttstock swap and it and the spring came out and jammed things up.
