[QUOTE="hunter0528, post: 2767072, member: 56641"] Years ago when I worked in a Gun shop, a gentleman ? came in ad asked for a box of Carbine ammo. I sold him some .30 carbine ammo. Next day he came back and said he gun fired only 1 round and jammed up. I asked to see the gun and **** it turned out to be a AR15 carbine. I told him it was a 223 but he argued that it was "Carbine". He left the gun for me to fix. Thank goodness it was a low pressure cartridge like the .30 carbine. The round exited the muzzle and the brass expanded to fill the chamber. (I've lost that piece of brass over the years) . Took about 1-2 hours to extract the brass. Every thing looked good as far as the gun, go and no-go gauges worked. took the gun down stairs to the range and fired 1 round. Picked up the brass and miked it. Nothing unusual about it, everything was as it should be. Then tried 2 rounds, then 3 and finally a full mag. Interesting is that the .30 carbine 110 grain round matches the bottleneck of a .223 round. God must have been his range officer. Worst case of wrong ammo/ wrong gun. [/QUOTE]
