Well apparently some people dont know what squib loads are. I was letting a buddy of mine shoot my M1 (didnt even think about it, he said his dad is a gun smith bla bla bla, figured he knew what was up). Well he KBed it, im guessing there was a spuib load in the barell and so when it didn cycle he just chambered another one and boom fireball and the barel perty much detatched itself from the reciever, and it looks like it fooked the bolt and the locking lugs and all kinds of cool stuff. So now i am M1less. Too bad he wasnt realy hurt when it whent...

Where did the ammo come from? Sorry for your loss.

This thread is Useless without pictures. |
Ah, now I'm trackin'. So you loaned your Garand to someone, they then used their own ammo and KB'ed it. |
Damn, that sux even worse than if one was to do that to their own M1. |

Of course he will. Anything less would result in a lifetime of regret. I had an issue nearly twenty years ago with a car I borrowed. My buddy said not to worry about it - he'd have insurance take care of it. He pocketed the insurance money and ghetto rigged his new but damaged car which rusted prematurely afterwards. I always felt bad that I should have just cut him a check for his car which was damaged while in my care - even though I couldn't afford it. He doesn't return my emails so I guess he feels the same way. So Jonathan, be a man and buy Dillonivik a new M1. You know it's the right thing to do...
