This is what an M1 Garand looks like after it fails.

That happened to me. Damn lucky I wasn’t hurt.

That, is a Garand and someone probably put hot loads in it or a modern load that creates more pressure than it was designed to handle.

A Springfield M1A doesn’t suffer from that problem and will chew right through any ammo you feed it.
