XCR-L out of battery discharge

[Canadian_Zuk]

This was unexpected. Gonna hurt the pocket more than it did my face and hand. Racked the charging handle and she went boom, startled the hell out of me. Yay for safety glasses.





Upper, bolt and bolt carrier fukd.

Glad you're okay.

Jammed or broken firing pin? .223? What brand ammo?

 

[lone-wolf]

wtf

Iron can be purchased again. Can't buy new eyes or fingers. I'm glad your ok. You can always restock your bank rool. I witnessed a similar incident over seas while serving and the individual was not as luck as you.

Was there a round in the chamber and you let the bolt slam home on it? Or did you release the bolt on an empty chamber and it had to strip one out of the mag?

 

[Ebola]

Glad to see your not seriously injured.

Looks like winchester stamp on the ammo when you zoom in on the pic.

Reloads. Once fired winchester brass. 23gr Benchmark under a 62gr fowler match hp With wincheser primers. Not a hot load, I've loaded and shot many of these. It was a fresh mag, it cooked off as it was stripped from the mag as best I can tell. Chamber was empty, I assume the firing pin must have been stuck forward. Lots of rounds through this gun, never had an issue.

I had the same thing happen to me with my RA XCR-L 223. out of battery. round went off and sounded weird. got some powder burn on my face but other than that no damage. destroyed the extractor. took it in to Wolverine and they repaired it for me. I was shooting winchester whitebox 223 ammo.

Me too. I'll be calling Brent tomorrow to find out how much this is gonna hurt.

I'm hoping you're not one of these guys who never cleans his BCG because it's cool not to clean your rifle.
I'm betting Woverine hooks you up on parts/repairs.

Nasty and scary! Glad to hear you are well! Having a rifle explode on you is not a fun experience, I know.

 

[zeuce]

Ooh man that sux! Glad to hear you didnt end up hurt! Was it the older model or gen 2 keymod version?

x2, horrible experience.

So, what's the verdict then? Needed a cleaning? Harder primers?

What's left of the case looks like it has a perfect primer strike. How does that happen, slam fire?

 

[K-C]

It's good to hear there we no injuries except to you wallet.
I have to assume that the firing pin was stuck forward and the primers that you use are "soft".
There is no other reasonable explanation...

 

[Trinimon]

Ouch! Thankfully there was no injuries...

 

[TV-PressPass]

yikes!

 

[PitBull1973]

Wow , sucks that you gotta spend some cash to fix it. As long as your ok that's all that matters
