I recently say a Sig 30-06 that the barrel had been blown out of the action. I did not realize that the barrel had no threads on it, but was a press-fit in the action, and held with a set screw. The reason it parted is not knowm but it sure made an interesting mess of the bolt face, and stock. Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission. | ||

If it's a SHR-970 the bolt locks up into the barrel. The barrel isn't even held in by a set screw it's clamped in by two bolts around the receiver. They did this so you could swap barrels etc.. I bet someone used a wrong bolt and/or wrong caliber when switching stuff around.................DJ ....Remember that this is all supposed to be for fun!.................. | |||

Nothing had been switched around. Sorry I can't post photo as I did not think to take a picture of it. It was in a gun shop in RSA. Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission. | |||
