	What caused my gun to jam?
	With a loaded clip you pull the charging handle back and the bottom half of the bolt carrier is grabbing the bullets in the clip and angling the bullets up out of the clip, and sometimes they will chamber correctly and the gun will fire, other times the bullet will go into the chamber and bend the bullet and it will not fire and it is jammed in the chamber, or other times it will pop up and get jammed between the charging handle and the bolt carrier. It does this whether manually or if it is cycling through the action as supposed to.
	I recently purchased a Bushmaster .223, model XM15-E2S used from a local gunshop. I've been having jamming problems. These have been inconsistent in nature. Sometimes the new round is not picked up, sometimes the spent cartridge is not ejected and another is being slammed foward-jamming the bolt and other times the cartidge will not eject. I've tried 4 different brands of magazine, insuring the bullets are seated and the magazine is rammed home. Ii've also tried several different factory loaded cartidges including UMC, Remington, American Eagle and Winchester. At one point it jammed several times, shot 2 before jamming, then 3, and then ran the rest of the magazine. I pulled that magazine, inserted another and ran 10 rnds. It almost appeared tha something was stuck or blocked and loosened. 3 hrs. later though it would jam after every rnd. The dealer has taken it back several times and "cleaned" it thoroughly. He is stumped at this point and suggested that I send it to you for inspection and repair. How do I do this? I really like the weapon and would like to keep it. Bushmaster has been recommended to me by several other advid shooters.
	While smy firsthooting my Varminter yesterday, a friend offered me to shoot some of his handloads....and my first round got stuck while bolt was closing...appears to be almost or completely closed. I CAN NOT PULL THE BOLT CARRIER BACK, IT IS STUCK TOO. tHIS IS A LIVE ROUND. I also tried to break the gun apart after pulloing the retaining pin out and it will not separate..the lower from the upper. Obviously this round was not fully resized to sami spec's. Now what do I do?
	Just purchased a 9mm carbine. Received it a week ago. Pulled it out of the case, prepped it, and took it to the range. Wouldn't fire. Ejected the round, cycled another round. Still wouldn't fire. Cycled again. Still nothing. Only hear a "click" like a dry fire. After cycling about 20 times, I finally got it to fire a round. I stuck in one of the rounds that hadn't fired, and it fired the second time. But, after that, I continued to have problems. Put different type of ammo in and they wouldn't fire. One of the guys at the range said he had a similar problem with his sub-caliber AR -- until it was broke in -- something about the bolt not seating all the way. What do I need to do to get this gun to fire?
	I have a brand new, never-been-fired Remington R-15 VTR, chambered for .204. I was hoping someone at this site could help with my dilemma. I was going to fire the rifle for the first time 2 days ago. I chambered a Hornady V-Max .204, put the safety selector to "FIRE", aimed and tried to pull the trigger. Here's the problem; the trigger will not move and the safety is now stuck in the "FIRE" position. Thanks in advance for your time, Sincerely, Stac Schonauer, Minot, ND
	I have a Bushmaster AR15. The fire/saftey switch is stuck on the fire position. I cant get it to go to saftey. Any suggestions? Thanks
