Quoted:
my milled receiver took the brunt. Small crack, my 'smith is tig welding it back into shape. One case separation cracked the receiver? I would not trust that receiver. |

Not a case separation/ case rupture is a wholly different thing.

I have one of these rifles as well. My first suggestion is to check the head space. Go/NoGo gauges aren't real expensive and afford some peace of mind.
Hopefully it was just a fluke, sorry your rifle took a beating, but better it than you.

Never heard of a problem with M67. Is it possible the case was damaged prior to firing?

I guess it's possible, but not likely.

The rupture is a full failure of the round. The case separation is the almost clean break where the brass was weak. Rupture is generally from a way over pressured round. Case separation is from a weak spot in the brass, generally from reloading. |

Most likely a gun or operator problem.
