Salvaging parts from a Colt 601 barrel that was going to be scrapped after a kaboom!

You would have been in tears to see what happened to the lower.


The lower will live on one day as a tribute from the autopsy pictures!

Sucks. At least you'll have that FSB.

Ouch. Same as others asked, what happened?


Looks like a complete case head failure as the case looks to still be in the chamber.

My money is on bad reloads or an out-of-battery.

PD gun that sat forgotten on a dusty shelf for years until it was decided to scrap it.

It was a bitch to get the remains of the chrome bolt out of the barrel extension.

I rescued what I could from it before the powers "decided" to crunch it!
