I got word on the barrel. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It was tested with MRI, x-ray, and pressure, all passed with flying colors.

What does it mean to "mortar" a gun? Bang on it like a mortar and pestle?
To collapse the stock if collapsable, then holding the rifle vertically and hitting down on the ground with it while holding the CH open to force the bolt to open.
Was my description clear as mud?
Example grab a bat with both hands then hit the ground with the base of it. Same thing with the rifle.
With the hit, you're hopping to force the BCG to open.

We had 3 ak-47s in one relay blow up on us, group of Iraqi soldiers were shooting what I think was Chinese ammo (few years ago, not 100% sure it was Chinese)When I was in Iraq we discovered several batches of older Prvi Partizan ammo that would kaboom in the Ak47's we were using. I was almost able to get it down to the lot. The rounds seemed to exhibit exactly what I see here which is the rear of the casing blown out and the remainder stuck in the barrel. My guess is that this round was overcharged.
I took it to a new guy in town. Shooting Arms Company. www.shootingarmscompany.com His name is Rusty Cox

I thougth some would like to know.
I asked the smith about the condition of the lands and grooves of the barrel and he said it looked brand new inside. He said that if I had told him the barrel had 100 rounds through it he would have believed me. It has at least 15,000 if not more through it. He also said he could sell that barrel right now as brand new. I asked him if he thought the cryo treatment had anything to do with it and he said absolutely.
I guess between the quality of the barrel (Lothar walther)the thickness and the cryo the proof is in the pudding, at least in this case.
