Liberty III is cocked and won't fire. Lower won't release.

[resunltd]

Greeting from New Hampshire.

After a complete bolt rebuild, I fired five rounds. On the sixth round the striker did not release when I pulled the trigger. The lower grip will not slide off with the trigger "cocked / jammed".

Calico tells me I may have to break the grip off and replace it! This does not seem acceptable for a weapon I should be able to defend my life with.

Any thoughts or ideas?

I may not understand correctly; but, I know the safety can block the striker between release and impact if it is activated during firing. Generally only acheivable during slower hand operation. Pull the charging handle fully rear and release safety with the free hand to rectify. Sorry if this doesn't help.
