Where is the idiot that wanted to load a BP only firearm with smokeless that was around here recently?
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

I wonder if a charge was left in the gun and then he loaded it again, it was just too much and the barrel ruptured. Don't think he has a chance after this many years and him or others having fired it many, many times. He is the one loading the gun and no evidence of what he loaded. If I was on the jury he loses.

You have a link to those cases? I'd be curious to read them.

i do not get my info from websites lol, nor will i share names to the sources of my info. When a rifle goes boom, more than just the rifle company is called in for the court case should it go that far. Its just amazing what people do to their rifles because they are not smart enough to learn it and especially with reloading centerfire ammo. CVA will not warrant reloads simply because theres to much error when someone without the education does it and screws up. A ton of cases involve this and of course, they are suing the arms maker for their screw up.

I would be willing to bet this was caused by operator error

99% of blow ups are due to user error. Poor cleaning, incorrect loading, incorrect prep between shots, etc. A lot of new guys have no clue about the crud ring. I've personally helped folks that told me they always wondered why the ramrod always stuck and inch or more higher versus their first or second shot. They were actually shooting them that way, getting poor erratic accuracy from one shot to the next. They were blown away and down right scared [bleep] when I explained what was going on and what could have happened to them.
Its like the guy on the news that buys a brand new Lamborghini and wrecked it 2 miles down the road because he said he didn't need to take the recommended driving course/test.

most cases are like that as its cheaper than hiring a lawyer and going through the process. Same thing happens with personal injury, injury from a faulty auto maker, etc.

I was hoping for more details in the news article. I'm guessing it was operator error. Black powder, when used properly, doesn't generate significant pressure compared to the kind of stuff most of us play around with all the time. Not only can stupid not be fixed, it shouldn't be legislated for, either.

Could have been a double load for all we know.
