Anyone have an idea how this barrel ended up like this? If a tank was burning could a cooked off round do this? Or is it more likely that after the tank was disabled someone then “spiked” the barrel?

Probably the result of using Ruger-Only loads from a reloading manual. [:)]

Looks like a C4 spike job.

The problems of firing a 120mm projectile in a 105mm bore? Damn Afghani reloaders never read the manual.

I didn't know Sellier/Bellot made ammunition in that caliber.
