A friend sent me this, his son was shooting at a range with some ammo he bought on-line! I don't know what kind. "Bulk"??? He sent the gun back to the manufacturer as it's still under warrenty. I don't think he will have any luck. No one was hurt, but the gun was completely distroyed ( nice way to lose $1000 ).  Shovel ready..... but hangin' on | ||

If this ammo was bought from a commercial loader or was factory bulk your buddy should be contacting them. Bulk remanufactured or factory, it should meet SAAMI spec. The maker is likely liable if there was a ammo problem so your buddy may not be out for the gun. Very glad no one was hurt! ------------------------------------ The trouble with the Internet is that it's replacing masturbation as a leisure activity. ~Patrick Murray "Why shouldn`t truth be stranger then fiction?

Bummer, but at least it wasn't a real rifle, just one of the Mattel toys guns  Seriously, he needs to contact the maker of that ammo, along with the manfacture of the rifle. | |||

Hmmmm, Split the bolt carrier, pretty cool. That sucked up some of the energy. New bolt and carrier, and new upper; may be able to get 'er back up and running. Have to chamber cast the barrel first, of course. Over on http://www.ar15.com there is a running thread that rates all the ammo that is available for rat guns. lawndart  | |||

I seem to remember something about some off spec Federal loads out there that have a habit of doing this. Funny thing, I trust my reloads more than I do the "cheap" stuff. At least I know the idiot who loaded my stuff! | |||
