I took six guns and two brothers and one sister. Went through about 800 rounds of wolf 5.56, 300 rounds of Winchester .45, two or three hundred of .38 spl, some .22 long and .22 mags.
Pretty good day, did some drills with their computer programs. About halfway through I noticed a barrel lying in the lane....not attached to a gun. The guy next to me was firing factory winchester. Hmmmmm No injuries. Good day at the range. Everything of mine ran flawlessly too until the end. My brother somehow managed to double feed it, and one of the round is now stuck above the BCG. Unsure how to proceed..... Edit: I fixed it, thanks.           UPDATED PICS FROM OWNER (there are more but photobucket is being weird)

Push the charging handle forward as far as you can and then use a piece of brass to shove the bolt back. Should fall right out.

Any idea as to what caused the .44 to KB?

I have a 329PD; I would like to know what happened to that revolver.
I know that the blast shield at the barrel/cylinder gap can fall out; if he kept shooting with it missing I can see it eating through the topstrap and causing this. |

Classic Bolt override on the AR....a bolt override is when a cartridge has wedged itself between the bolt and charging handle. The best way to correct this problem is by
* Ensuring the charging handle is pushed forward and locked in place. * Securing the rifle and pulling the bolt to the rear until the bolt seats completely into the buffer well. * Turning the rifle upright and allowing the overridden cartridge to fall out. |

44 mag out of an airweight probably feels like a KB every shot

A newer S&W sending its barrel downrange. Like that's never happened before.
Typical S&W quality nowadays. If you want a good DA revolver, buy vintage or buy Ruger. |

See? This is the kind of thing that happens when anyone in your immediate vacinity is shooting Wolf Ammo! It doesn't have to be you. If anyone around you is shooting it, this could happen to you. Avoid areas where Wolf Ammo is in use!

Cylinder is intact.
Looks like the little shield fell out and the top strap got eaten through. Not ammo related, it seems. I recently sold one of these. I really liked it, too. |

This range is a members only range, and I feel MUCH more comfortable at this range than ANY other indoor range I have EVER been to. I've never seen any half-wits or hooligans or blatantly unsafe behavior at this range, which is extremely unusual at a public range. I don't go to public indoor ranges any more. |

The outdoor range I worked at had holes in the roof, holes in the benches, even holes through a chair (A shooter was at a bench, seated, shooting a snubby .38. The guy to his left was shooting a .45 and one of the .45 empties went down the back of this guys' shirt. The guy immediately reached back between his shoulderblades while still holding the .38. He squeezed a round off and it missed giving him an ultimate back-scratching by about an inch. Bullet went through the back of the folding metal chair he was sitting on and richocheted off the concrete deck, going up through a wooden range table and out through the sheet-metal roof.
The shooter said it was the ranges' fault, we had him too close to a guy shooting a semi-automatic, he tried to sue us, saying semi-auto's shouldn't be allowed cause hot brass could hurt someone. |

aluminum. there is a problem with all aluminum in that it has a finite endurance limit. what this means is no matter how slight the repetitive stress, all aluminum will fail. take for example valve springs on a car, these cycle once every two engine revolutions and considering the engine must last at least 100k miles at about 2500 revolutions per mile, that means 125 million cycles. valve spring failure is very rare because they are designed for a stress well below the infinite limit which most steels have. but aluminum has no infinite stress limit.
this part of the pistol is not only highly stressed, it is also subject to notching from the cylinder gap. so most have a hard steel alloy shield. if that fails, the aluminum will become eroded and this induces a stress concentration area. |

I have, well, the Revolver in my Avatar (S&W 327R8, Scandium Frame, 5 inch, 8 shot .357 Mag.) I shoot full house (carefully hand charged) loads from it regularly and this big boy shows virtually no wear.
Still, I stay away from the Magnum Airweights even though I am a certified S&W freak. |

There isn't much metal on that top strap (or whatever it's called). Is it possible that the space between the cylinder and the barrel was to large allowing a lot of gas to etch that area?

I've been wanting the 329PD for years now, but I've seen an aweful lot of these same incidents this past year, so I think I'll stick with my heavy, steel .44 mag. I've run almost 2K rounds of .44 mag reloads through my two Taurus M44s with nary an issue.
