As a last resort, I swapped the bolt carrier group from another rifle. The rifle fired, and the round blew out of battery? It blew the magazine out the bottom of the rifle, and peppered the watchers with powder. When I got home and dis-assembled, the problem was even worse than I thought.
BCG stuck partially out of battery
Extractor bent
Barrel bushing? Cracked through
Cartridge (minus base) stuck in barrel. Bullet is still 3/4 down the barrel also
Even the upper receiver is cracked through
