[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1430183, member: 78438"] I blew up a .243 wssm in an ar-15 platform. I was actually told by the manufacturer that it didn’t “blow up” The barrel extension failed and blew shrapnel through the side of the upper and slammed the charging handle into my front teeth/upper lip, bent the bolt, lodged it into the side of the upper, and blew the remaining rounds through the bottom of the magazine, but it absolutely did not “blow up”. It was determined after sending in the rifle and spent brass that it was not my fault and they replaced the upper for the most part, I haven’t pulled the trigger on it since. Might be fun in a bolt action! I wouldn’t even sell this thing, it’s a jack handle to me. [/QUOTE]
