This guide details how to clear the 'Death Jam,' a catastrophic AR-15 malfunction, as demonstrated by expert Jerry Miculek. The Death Jam occurs when a round becomes wedged between the bolt carrier and the charging handle channel, preventing normal disassembly. The technique involves manually retracting the bolt carrier after ensuring the charging handle is forward. This is a critical skill for AR-15 owners, especially those with extensive experience or who use their platforms in demanding conditions.
