[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1025328, member: 10178"] That looks like a rifle that a fellow in my town had blow up with black powder. It was a Knight Wolverine that he bought from somebody and did not check to see if it was already loaded and he loaded it up and when he shot it it blew up and he lost about half a hand and almost bled to death before he got to somebody for help. From the remains of the rifle it was concluded that it was already loaded and he loaded it again creating a bomb. I witnessed a rifle blow up one day at the range. This was information gained afterward. This fellow got hold of some loading tools and took the word of some dipstick that Bullseye powder was GREAT for loading 30 Carbine ammo. He filled the cases with Bullseye and crammed bullets in the case. He only got to shoot ONE ROUND. It destroyed an almost new looking WWII era M1 Carbine. The fellow escaped with only scrapped and stinging left hand but his ball cap he had on took part of the bolt through the bill of the cap. He was one lucky DA fellow. [/QUOTE]
