Oh dear that is sad....



Side note are you salvaging any parts?

This is not mine, fortunately. I am merely sharing sadness from elsewhere on the internuts. Apparently it had been a 7.62 match rifle. The load was reported to have been a 180 grain handload. Suspicion is a high primer resulted in the carnage.
 
Ar blew up in my hand. Don't know the cause. Bcg exploded, lower warped and mag flew across the table.

No injuries just shock. Thank God lol

Seems obviously pressure-related. Either the round was loaded too hot, or some sort of partial obstruction at the chamber mouth? Maybe bolt didn't fully lock or high primer?

Glad PSA and Spikes worked with me and took care of me. Psa couldn't verify issue and I kept bugging them on the status so they sent me a replacement. Spikes was easy.

Holy geez, I have a rifle I built up with the same parts, even the MI handguard.

The 16" SS barrel did not show very good accuracy first time out, so it may see different parts before long.
