I caught this pic at a re-loading board, dang. Something like in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
I figure you all would want to read about it. c-rock http://www.serveroptions.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/004291.html   |

How did this happen ?
Maybe he was using it as a walking cane and stuck the barrel in the dirt. Then shot it ? That sucks.... |

I think the modified Enfield was used in a ballistics test (bullet recovery in a water trough). Seems the tester submerged the end of the barrel in the water trough and fired. Water makes a good barrel obstruction when hit by a 2500 fps bullet.

Ya'll suppose the felt recoil was a bit higher that day..?

I can not imagine the amount of pressure it would take to do that. It looks like it follows grain structure. I can tell you one thing though. I will never again test fire my firearms by placing the muzzle in water.

No wonder this came from the same place as those hilarious .577 Tyrannosaur video clips...

Probably had another bullet in the barrel, or some other obstruction when he decided to touch off a round.

... KB'd a 1911 barrel once, jig locked it so bad that I had to take it to a gunsmith to unfvck it.
... Been lucky, never had anything this catastrophic. |

On the other hand, in this configuration the bore is a lot easier to clean.
