    stuck mag......

    Im not experienced yet in working on the AT 85. I went to remove a magazine and it appears to be stuck. The mag is oriented correctly but its not releasing this is my AT85 whos been a little stubborn.

    if the mag is stuck its because the chain is out of synch with the mechanism,
    Any chance you dryfired the gun or inserted it without aligning the chain?

    be as gentle as you can.
    unfortunately its likely some of the posts holding the roller might snap 😒
    Sometime taking the side plate off and the ram assembly with the grabber arm can help.

      Is the magazine stuck because the chain and cog are binding or could the magazine release be stuck? Sometime that magazine release switch switch is a bit stubborn. The magazine drop just by gravity, no springs.

          well, im not sure what im supposed to find but the chain can still move despite being in the receiver, removing the side plate did let me move the chain, the mag drop slider was removed to sttempt to inspect it however the internal linkage has fallen away and I dont see an immediate way to reconnect it.

          so

          how screwed am I?

          fwiw the mag still appears as locked in, it will move front back and side to side some but theres been no further change.

            well its not the mag detach lever in any form. I tried on another ATS using a thin cut down card to slip up the mag well and unlock the catch and it worked, I marked the depth of that and tried it on the receiver with the stuck mag, not only did i hit the depth I could see the card through the port where the mag release catch was at. so the issue is something else.

ID:	727593 Apparently my may got pushed up to high i to my breech and hooked around it? It was never stuck via latch apparently.

              -----

              You can see a broken portion of the mag stuck in. The breech.

              Now how do I prevent it from. Happening again?

                It has been a while, but looks like your bolt shroud is not aligned, and has pinched the bolt head cover. Does the bolt cycle?
