There are several other pictures of barrels blown out like that from bore sighters. I popped a squib in an Uzi because I didn’t check the barrel after the shooter said it failed to fire. It was 100% my fault for not inspecting the barrel of a weapon before I pulled the trigger.
I really need to get this thread going as a daily again. If anyone is interested, don’t be bashful. The criteria for regular posting is not extensive knowledge, it’s passion. Remember the old line, “Private Joker is silly and ignorant, but he’s got guts.”
Guts is enough. Contact me if you want to keep the Free Republic Gun Club going. The need is obvious for the coming administration.
I should add that the scope is a Nikon Monarch and it will doubtless render years of outstanding service. Shameless plug.
fwiw-
Most definitely: please keep me on your Ping list. I never get tired of reading about and sharing knowledge and experience with fellow firearms enthusiasts and 2nd Amendment supporters. I think we’re going to need each other a whole lot during the next 4 years...
Please keep it going.
