I'm wondering if this was a bad batch of barrels and there are others, like time bombs, waiting to go off.
Has Springfield Armory comment yet? Could be a big issue...

To the best of our information, this was not an SA barrel, and so there would be no reason for any of the Reese boys to comment.
But your comment about "time bombs" is now uppermost in the minds of many! I gotta admit that I had always felt that anything this catastrophic…

(And no, I'm not one of the AL-BVD crowd who immediately suspected the impossible [C-4] had occurred!) I mean, after all those rounds and all those years of service, who'd've suspected the barrel?!?
Don't overlook John Kepler's sidebar, however… like the dopers say, "know your dealer!"
