Rifle blow ups

Well that blows some old theories out of the water that rear locking Enfield actions are weaker than Mauser 98 actions. Also just how stupid you need to be to get any bolt action rifle to fail when reloading.

Love the quote about Blasers :rofl:

Don’t let Brit see the PH blowing up. ;)

Picture below of a local .243 blown up by a Hornady factory cartridge.
It was intimated that this rifle had a serial number which coincided with a batch of dodgy Chinese steel.
HWH.

Hmmm having machined some so called "Quality" Chinese Stainless I cannot say I a surprised as that stuff was rubbish. When challenged over the poor quality the buyer just kept saying :-

but it's half the price

So he got nicknamed "halfprice" as we pointed out to him it could be free but it would still not make it any damned good. His half price buying cost the firm about 4x the cost on the job. We managed but making many more operations to utilise one lot but the tubing was scrap. It was not even round and so far out of round grinding could not clean it up so it didn't seal in the housing hence was scrap.
