The bolt is never supposed to go into the buffer tube....are you saying the buffer was stuck?

If the bolt is indeed in the stock, something muct have happened to the buffer retention pin & spring. In any casem even if it is the buffer that is stuck it's probably due to the retention spring getting jammed somewhere up in there. 9 times out of 10 that's the problem.
