We had an old FM at my first newspaper job. It was the newsroom "beater" and it occasionally would lock up. Try turning the the motor drive key on the bottom of the camera with a quarter and see if it frees up the cocking mechanism. I did that on more than one occasion with the paper's FM. If that doesn't work then I think the jam problem is in the bottom of the camera, so you might want to start with the base plate and see if you can fix it from there. I was told that is where the problem is by an old camera fixer friend of mine. But hey, I could be wrong too.
