OK guys, after shooting over 400 reloads with my Colt AR-15, I have a bit of a problem. Went to the shooting range today, and after firing off about 50 rounds, I pull the trigger and...nothing. I remove the magazine and I try pulling the charging handle to eject the cartridge and it won't budge, and the rifle is locked in the "fire" position. Needless to say, I became a bit nervous. I'm not sure if there is a live round or a fired round stuck...or maybe nothing stuck. What can I do at this point?
