Easy test... stick the nozzle from your compressor into the Tikkler muzzle and see where the air exits. It comes straight down the left lug raceway and around the plastic cork at the shooter's face and eye. Now this is only 120 psi and not 60k+ psi, so its not a scientific test but I suspect hot gas from a ruptured case will follow a similar path.
Better yet take the cork off the bolt, reinsert bolt into action and take a pic for us looking down the left lug raceway. Maybe shine a light down the bore. I don't own any Tikklers anymore or else I'd do it for you.
Even more better...
Tell us what stops gas traveling down the left lug raceway?
I'm looking forward to you educating us on the Tikkler gas handling. Or are you just going spew insults with no information?
