There are some questions I have.
1: did you pull the trigger then this happend or was it a trigger pull normal shot happend then on its own went off?
2: was the firing pin ok dirty bent or stuck?

Regular trigger pull, felt normal. I took the bolt apart, firing pin and spring function well....super clean and moves freely

I don't think it was an out of battery discharge. My money is on case head separation. It doesn't just happen with reloads. Being an autoloader definitely allowed more of the gasses burning powder brass bits etc to come back at you but I'm more than a little certain that it's an ammo problem. Double check then Triple check the headspace but in the end I feel I already know what you'll find.

appreciate that thought....it seems like that's going to be the case (no pun intended). Shrek's gonna' double-check everything for me to make sure. I've been shooting milsurps for a long time, this is a first for me. I've had split cases and such but never one blown apart like that.

Scary moment for sure! Let us know what is found.

So here's the SITREP on the patient. I found several small issues that I 100% believe caused a perfect storm.

First I double checked the chamber, and head spacing. It was well within spec, I gave the chamber a once over to confirm nothing could have caused a feeding issue.

When checking cycling a live round from magazine to chamber... Oh boy!!

I ha a significant primer strike from the rebound on the firing pin. My butt puckered. After some ogre-ization the rebound was eliminated. Test fired a metric ton of assorted rounds with zero mechanical failure, and still can't wipe the grin off my face from getting to shoot this awesome rifle!

** Note that there was still a slight poc mark on the primer similar to that from an AR but no where near as significant**

Thanks Shrek, i cant wait to shoot her again! Nice job on the detailed cleaning too.....

Holy hell that would have made my asshole pucker. You really need a clearing snail in the shop just for things like that.
