Had a Kaboom yesterday

It may be. The bolt catch was working rough and didn't spend any time on it to see if it was damaged.

I'm surprised the polymer held up so well. I for one will not run a polymer set up like that though.

By the parts in that rifle maybe you should send him here and tell him to get a quality AR. Granted I do not know about OMNI parts but NCStar is absolute junk that I wouldn't run on an airsoft.

Indeed. He is a Newby to the civilian rifle realm. One of the reasons we were at the range. I meant to show him how a quality rifle compares to hobby grade in nice ways. I guess I made my point though

I wonder if the barrel was out of spec or a for real ammo issue? Also I wonder how a forged upper would have handled it?

Do you think the round was over pressure or the brass was just bad?

Doesn't look like a real major kaboom, the carrier isn't split and neither is the barrel extension.

No idea yet. The owner is taking it to an official gunsmith next week and is getting ahold of both ATI and Federal

Whoa, that's not good. Glad you're okay. And please share headstamp and lot nos. I have some Federal 55 gr put away.

[Ash Hess]

Lol, looks like some young followers on the post

[ColtSeavers]

Very curios of the outcome of this as well.

Glad everyone is ok.

Strongly recommend that you contact the manufacturer of the firearm and ammunition prior to any local examination. If you have a smith/armorer examine it, photograph everything, alter nothing.
