Ever seen an improperly head-spaced M2 blow up? I saw the results of it a few days ago as one blew up while another student was firing. She got frags of brass in the face but because of the eye-pro she was otherwise uninjured. Part of the feed tray cover blew off and most of it landed about 30 feet in front of the gun, and the receiver is now most certainly out of spec--It's a little bit wider than it used to be. I wish I had a camera with me. The range cadre all came out of the ensuing safety meeting walking a little bit funny...  ...One more item on my list of things to avoid. |
Not any longer, we roasted the last of them before I retired. I think they are going to the Spotted Owls now.  I was always a little paranoid about making sure the headspace and timing were done on my gun. I guess I just don't like things blowing up in my face.  |
Quite a bit like that. I believe the sides of the receiver were a little bit more stretched out but it could have been the angle i was looking at it. |
