Quoted: $2000 rifle with a Strike Eagle on it. Hope you're okay OP. Do you shoot 300 blk at all? Yeah, it's not like any for real faceshooters would use one. http://www.defensereview.com/tactical-ar-15-m4-m4a1-carbine-aftermarket-accessories-for-military-cotactical-ar-15-m4-m4a1-carbine-aftermarket-accessories-for-military-combat-applications-the-competition-to-combat-crossover-part/ |

Quoted: Whats up with this? From the explosion or not? https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/337946/20201128_164450-1705958.jpg I'd bet on it. I've seen .308 involved in a kaboom do the same thing. Ripped the projectiles out of the top couple rounds of the mag and unburned powder all over the place. Coworker blew up his 15 year old M1A with his own reloads, admitted everything to Springfield and they only charged shipping to fix it. It could have been a $900 bill. |

Let's see answers to questions so far. '19 Brass. I have 300, ammo is kept separate only have two boxes of it anyway. This ammo came from the same bulk box. BCG banana peeled so I think the brass from the kaboom is still in there. I keep the good optics on non-poor people rifles.  |

Quoted: Whats up with this? From the explosion or not? https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/337946/20201128_164450-1705958.jpg First thing I noticed too. Not sure if thats from the rounds in the mag when it exploded, or if those are what most of the rounds looked like out of the box. What did the case look like that was in the chamber when it went boom? |

Quoted: Squib? Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Is the barrel plugged, is the plug close to breach? Good to see no one was injured. Squib? The 3rd and fatal round sounds like a squib, so not the cause of the kaboom if they heard 2 rings of the gong from the prior two shots. Sounds like most of the energy went down through the mag well, and there was just enough to push the bullet halfway down the barrel. |

Quoted: Less than two hundred rounds through it. All Lake City. Third round of the third mag today it went Kaboom. Shooting steel multiple people heard the first two hits then the Kaboom. Upper is cracked, BCG stuck in the upper looks tore up, mag well expanded. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/237737/BC75FEDC-173F-4B0B-96B1-A9ED3E2EC0D5-1705899.jpghttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/237737/A1A25E53-92D4-440A-B272-BD1A712C191A-1705900.jpghttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/237737/FE1C6437-B011-4D0D-8F23-5CE01D7662A2-1705907.jpghttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/237737/86B6F57D-3678-4B58-B330-F40F27B4942E-1705908.jpg Not the first time this happened. So far it’s always been 300 BO involved afik contact CS and send it in we will fix you up with a new gun as long as you don’t mind the serviceable parts from this one used WHG |

Quoted: I'd assume the last projectile. What would be the likely causes? 1) Wrong round / 300 blackout mixed in? 2) Wrong powder type? 3) Wrong powder charge amount? Can you overload a 556 case so much that the explosion would be so fast the round didn't escape the barrel? |

Quoted: Guns just do not have the safety factor engineered into them that other devices have. A normal safety factor would be like 5x. When you only have a safety factor of 1.3x some kabooms will happen and some will die. I am ok with that. Jeez, that escalated quickly. |
