I heard this colorful expression for a real bad jam on the Ar15 after helping a guy with a brand new M&P - the fired case had gotten stuck over the bolt carrier - I was able to extract it by tearing the case apart with long needle nose pliers (almost like forcepts) through the ejection port . I kind of rolled the case up like a sardine can until I had clearance to extract the base of the cartridge.
Well, last weekend at a 3 gun match it happend to me - my new Rock River M4(kinda) with intermediate gas system had the FUBAR jam - I was DNF for that stage and most folks had never seen a jam like that - shooting my reloads from a Magpul 30 rd mag - I have no idea what happened, but there it was. Found the same long needle nose pliers in the tool kit and 15 minutes of frustration later I got the case out and the gun apart. Cleaned it up and shot the next stage with no issues at all.
Who else has had this and does anyone know why it happens and by any chance is there a better way to fix it than the dang pliers?
I do not always have this tool kit with me.
Thanks.
