I just got a brand new Advantage Arms conversion kit for my glock 26 for Christmas. I finally went out with my girlfriend to go shoot it and it was shooting ok and then she's like "that's weird it felt like something hit me in the face". I fired it...and it did a double feed and i got the casing out and the bottom of it was exploded outwards. It looks like there may be a chip in the top back of the barrel. My hands were bleeding somewhat from it so not I'm unsure if I have to get my entire glock 26 inspected or not. Should it be ok to put the original slide and barrel on it or should I have the lower part looked at by a gunsmith? Any thoughts and/or comments? Thanks!
Please forgive the crappy cell phone pics:

Weird. I've got a G-26 conversion kit with about 500 rounds through it and only the ocassional jam. Never heard of that with the AA kits before.

Were you dry firing it a lot?

You haven't tinkered it have you? It looks like chamber was throated causing an unsupported case head.

Looks like the top of the chamber mouth has a dent from the firing pin. Remove that.

Most OOBD's are caused by dirty chambers not allowing the round to fully seat.
A good thing to do with .22's is using a bore brush with oil on it chucked in a drill. Run it in the chamber. Stay out of the rifling. Do this for about 1 minute. It will get the gunk out and polish the chamber. Dave N |

Brand of ammo?
It looks to me that the case head tore at the 12:00 position. I would return the Advantage Arms kit to the manufacturer and include the casing. I wouldn't worry too much about the frame but that kit needs to be looked at. |

My first guess would be ammo, but if was ammo, we'd be hearing about this same issue with guns like 10/22's, as I'm sure many more .22 rounds are fred from 10/22's than from those of us with AA conversion slides.

Advantage arms did ask if it was remington ammo that I used. It's my guess it might be that brand of ammo. They are replacing it though, excellent customer service.
