My neighbor inherited his Dad's Baikal Makarov and apparently if fired fine for a mag or two and then jammed. I offered to look at it and this is what I found. The slide is jammed and the safety is locked in a backwards position. There's a live round rattling around in there, but that doesn't matter too much because the firing pin has fallen out.
From what I can see, it would seem that the safety needs to be manipulated into the correct position in order to free the slide.
I taped the safety to keep from scratching it and tried to rotate it forward with a pliers. That didn't work as it's locked up solid.
The slide either isn't back far enough to lift the rear up, forward and off or it's just jammed. Either way, it's not going anywhere.
That's as far as I can get. So I'm asking you experts here for help.
I've got a few pics here to help illustrate the problem.
Thanks in advance.
