My last year production 62A has a locking problem. It started when a person forced it open from a locked position before I could stop them.

The upper assembly by itself, will lock fine. But when the upper and lower assemblies are together, it will not lock. Also, the left locking lug is rubbing on top of receiver.

Thanks

Rifle is now repaired. The firing pin lug looked no different to ones in photos and by comparing side by side with with other actual firing pins. Tried one firing pin with no help but the second firing pin provided good lockup.
