[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2440157, member: 30902"] The short explanation is "it blew up". The cause would be either it was struck by a bullet or multiple bullets until it failed or there was a flaw in the metal itself causing it to self destruct under pressure. Either way, the MFG needs to be notified and your rifle really needs a trip to the gunsmith. My guess assuming this isn't a new install would be that it came loose and in that event your threads may be ruined. If it was a new install, there's a good chance it was not properly aligned with the bore. [/QUOTE]
