bolt stuck shut after loading.

I loaded this rifle no different than my other AR's. I just picked it up last Friday and took it out to shoot Saturday. I pulled the charging handle back. Then I actuated the bolt lock to hold the bolt open as I inserted a loaded magazine. I released the bolt clambering a round, then I released the magazine to top off and do a press check as I always do to make sure a round chambers. When I pulled the charging handle back for the press check it would not budge. This means there is a live round stuck the chamber and I cannot get it out. At that point I did not shoot the rifle. I referred to my owner's manuel to see if there was any weird proprietary stuff going on that would make this happen but I found no reason why that should happen. Right now the gun sits in my safe with the round still in chamber with the safety on. I will not shoot this rifle until this issue gets resolved. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you Christian del Real
