M14

[supersixone]

Could be the op rod and spring have slipped out of place, sprung forward with it jammed up against the front lip of mag.

Can you rack the action. Moving the bolt rearward? If yes then at least you can look inside to make sure no rounds in the chamber or mag. If not then it's possibly the op rod issue I described above.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The M14 rifle, officially the United States Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm, M14, is an American select-fire battle rifle that fires 7.62×51mm NATO (.308 in) ammunition. It became the standard-issue rifle for the U.S. military in 1959 replacing the M1 Garand rifle in the U.S. Army by 1958 and the U.S. Marine Corps by 1965 until being replaced by the M16 rifle beginning in 1968. The M14 was used by U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps for basic and advanced individual training (AIT) from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s.[5][7]

To the OP, If you have an M14 that was manufactured by Springfield Armory, TRW, Winchester or Harrington & Richardson then you may have an issue to deal with. Seek further advice away from this forum!
