[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2937892, member: 122164"] Unimaginable! My first thought was what the bolt lugs looked like, which would be a hint at a possible problem. Overpressure from load, or failure from the foundry. The chamber expands during the firing sequence, looks like this expansion was extreme to say the least. The scope must have been damaged also. Thankful that no one was hurt. Too bad we did not get more details. I was at the rifle range at Rio Salado Rifle range in Arizona when the whole top half of a Model 19 blew up along with half of the cylinder. The determined cause was metal fatigue. [/QUOTE]
