[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1960202, member: 78438"] Glad you didn't get hurt, weird things happen. I had a 243wssm ar-15 come apart on me a few years ago, accuracy suddenly went in the trash. I didn't think to question the rifle because it shot so well. I thought there was a problem with ammo, it made it about another 15 rounds and then the barrel extension failed and the rifle ended up in lots of pieces (the manufacturer did stand behind it, but informed me that it did not "blow up"). When things change suddenly, it's always good to question everything and make sure it's safe to continue. Most of the "normal" issues don't show up all of the sudden. It is possible that those loose threads could have compromised the threads on the action, if you don't have the ability to check that out, I would have it looked at. I highly doubt that there was an issue with the action coming from defiance, but your stuck in a spot where it's hard to know what happened. If the machining on both parts are done correctly, and it was properly installed, that wouldn't have happened. [/QUOTE]
