[QUOTE="hunter0528, post: 2170301, member: 56641"] Back in the late '70's I was working in the gun shop and an customer came in and asked for a box of Carbine. sold him a box of 50 .30 Carbine ammo. Next day he came in and complained that it broke his gun!! He showed me the gun and it was a Colt AR15 CARBINE. the bolt was stuck closed. I took the gun and after he left I went and after about managed to get the gun apart. then another hour got the bolt out along with the for named .30 carbine case. The bullet exited the gun with no Immediate damage apparent to the gun. Took a set of GO, NO GO, and FIELD gauges. Everything passed as what should. Then took the gun to the indoor range we had, for testing, and loaded 1 round, fired it and it worked and miked out fine. then tried 3 rounds and it worked perfect. over the years I lost the case, really interesting to see how it filled out/blew out. Notice this was one of the listing in the Hornady list of "DO NOT CONFUSE" it fits as the nose of the .30 carbine matches perfectly to the taper in the neck of the 223. One lucky guy and convinced me of the strength of the AR action. [/QUOTE]
