Holy Crap!

[Doublecluck]

I’m never playing with surplus ammo.. and gonna upgrade my safety glasses

 

[Wrong Burgundy]

Sweet baby jeebus. I am only using an airgun from here on out.

"Dude, pull my finger." Boom!

 

[HighDesertSage]

damn, I've followed him for awhile. That's a hell of a scar there.

 

[TN2shot07]

Most of the time I go to the range alone, might have to reconsider that...

 

[Ben Lamb]

Glad he survived, but that rifle looks like a safety nightmare by the original design.

 

[Western Traveler1]

Oh what I so often take for granted...

 

[Steelsearchin]

Wow!! Lucky to be here at all.

 

[Doublecluck]

I remember the first time I threw together a savage prefit. Even though I knew I had it put together to spec by everything I had read I still ran my left hand over the rear of the bolt thinking it might be that extra buffer if it blows up from things flying thru my face. After 10 or so shots I got a little more comfortable that I had done it right.

Fwiw that 50 sure as hell didn’t look as stout as a Barrett.

 

[HSi-ESi]

Holy crap. That whole thing is crazy.

Is it the threaded sewer pipe end cap you are referring to? Lol

 

[fishing4sanity]

He's certainly lucky to still be above ground! So much can go wrong so fast.

He said it might have been old milsurplus. Probably a reason the mil ammo has a shelf life and old stuff gets cycled through ranges. Im not a chemist but I bet those powders were beyond Shelf life and broke down. I wonder if that rifle had a proof load fired from the factory

He said it can handle about 85k psi.

Modern bolts top out around 120kpsi & have multiple safeties built in (locking lugs, gas ports, etc).

This gun has a screw cap & two rabbit ears that sheared off cutting a major artery & almost going through his head.

He's a lucky son of a gun.

 

[Sytes]

He's a lucky son of a gun.

Unable to sum it up any better.

 

[shrapnel]

Been there, done that...

 

[D_Walt]

That thing is pretty much a potato gun with a scope, glad he survived

 

[Tradewind]

Has me wondering how well a Barrett would have handled that shell.

 

[Hilljackoutlaw]

Yikes!!! Lucky Lucky Lucky. I been watching that guy on and off for awhile now. Makes some cool content.

 

[Otto Matic]

Was that an angel I saw sitting on his shoulder?????? !
Egads and little fishes!!!
