My rifle is jammed with a snap cap in the chamber. The slide can't be retracted and the 'safety' can't be put into the 'on' position, so I can't disassemble the rifle. According to the owner's manual the safety must be on, the mag removed, and the trigger guard pried up to release the trigger assembly.
I removed the mag but can't do any of the other things; it's jammed firmly.

Is there any way that I can remove the trigger group, get the gun apart and remove the bolt without damaging it? Help!!

Thanks in advance,
Shep
