[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2453118, member: 115658"] I don't see any copper wash on the insides that might occur with a bullet contacting the brake, see some yellowish color that might be reflections from photo flash. The last bullet key-holed indicating instability and poor accuracy before. See some longitudinal striations on surface near barrel and some dented edges that don't appear to be of catastrophic origin. Thinking stress fracture upon installation that progressed during 300 rounds then total failure just as bullet was exiting end of brake. Hole at end of brake looks like it has comfortable width for .308 diameter bullet. See indications of debris from event blown thru brake like plastered against inner surface of end and torn outside edges at end of brake. [/QUOTE]
