I recently got a used FAL, and took it out to the range today. Fired off 14 rounds without any issues, then had a case failure. Anyway, does this look like an ammo or a headspace problem? The round on the left, was one I shot before the case failure, and the one on the right is the one that failed.

Yeah, I've never seen one fail like that before. Usually its at the head or near the base. Looks like a defective case to start with...
I had a couple of failures before, and I posted it here last year. It was some kind of gas cutting. I sent it back to the MFR so they could have a look. Luckily, sounds like no damage/injury. All is good. By the way, has that case been reloaded?? It almost looks like its been thru a sizing die. The one on the left really looks that way... |

Nothing against S&B, big fan of their 45ACP, but they take forever to reply to e-mail. I had an issue with one round and let them know via
e-mail about the problem as an FYI. Got a reply about 8 months later. Best of luck and hope it was just an odd ball round and not the firearm. |
