    Agreed. Will pass along.

    Wow. As others have already mentioned, its an over pressure problem. I'm thinking your chamber closer to .223 Rem than 5.56, Noveske match or whatever the chamber dimensions should be. I'd contact Noveske and ask them to take a look at your barrel. They'll take good care of you.

    Agree. I am very interested to know.

    A polymer upper???? WTF.
    I don't even trust a polymer lower, on a rifle - yes I know plenty of pistols use polymer frames. A polymer upper? Never ever ever.

    I won't sidetrack OP's thread, but you might want to rethink that statement. Robar has a pretty neat one.

    Was there any catastrophic damage to the bolt/lugs? Is that a Sharps Reliabolt?

    No visible damage beyond what you can see there. Everyone there had done some sort of evidence collection and we did very little besides pack it up and prepare it for what comes next

    I saw the pic of your arm and noticed you mentioned having a medical plan in place.

    The pic doesn't look too bad but are you alright?

    I am good. Light bruise and some peppering. But had something gone terribly wrong, the blow out kit was the only thing really there.

    Dang... Glad you're OK. I sow someone get hurt a few years ago, and never go to the range without a basic first aid kit at minimum in the bag.
