There was something loose, but it was not a nut behind the trigger.

Lordamighty! What the heck happened to that thing!
I've seen a few bulged barrels, but never anything like that. Was the shooter ok?

Re: # 19 (M1 Kaboom)
I remember that photo from back when it first was posted on the gun boards. It was a new Springfield M1, IIRC. Texas range, too - Houston area, maybe?
I don't recall the entire story, but it had something to do with a tight chamber, forcing the op rod into battery - something like that.

Two questions:
1) In what shape was the shooter after this incident?
2) Do my eyes deceive me -- or is that a reloader's paradise under that bench?
