.223 kaboom

[45C]

So I had a kaboom out of my .223 semi.
My guess is OOB?
55 g Hornady v max and midload of varget.View attachment 667669

Looks like it contained it well and sent it through the magazine.

What rifle?

Yes it obliterated the case but the mag completely disassembled.
I’m pretty sure I can put the mag back together and use it , if I had a new follower.


Siberian

No damage to the gun itself?

No damage to you?

Pretty big success there.

First thought from the picture is OOB. That is relatively rare with most semis, I am not familiar with the Siberian but I assume free-floating firing pin? What primers do you use? Even soft SR should survive the pin moving unless it was stuck somehow, built-up carbon or whatever.

 

[Daver_II]

Definitely OOB.

When did it go?

 

[45C]

There’s an issue with the FP,they have sent out a new modified version.
This happened earlier and just wanted the current owners to be aware.
They’re saying that the pin is sticking forward and causing OOB.
Anyway

Wrong primer or just black creek goodness?

Firing pin failure.

I don't know how the primer would make the case disintegrate. Poor firearm design and/or poor quality control is the issue here.

I think the FP got stuck in the forward position and struck the primer on the way into battery.

What’s the point of cci 41 primers

I think he missed your point, and yeah they are to prevent inertia caused slam fires, but i dont think they or any primer would not go off if the firing pin was stuck forward like in this instance

would be a point if the cartridge had fired unintentionally while in battery, also known as slam-fire. This was obviously not a slam fire.

 

[ZUKA]

I don't understand how FP can get stuck as it is under spring tension.

I'm not firing mine until I get my new pin - this is the third time I've heard of this happening now, but sounds like the new pin solves it.

Maybe they have an inside mole Liberal engineer that sabotages every one of their projects...

 

[bertn]

Just curious; was it the first round of the day or in the middle of the shooting session?
