The 30 year old man that I reported on a few weels ago that was hit in the face with the rifle bolt is doing fine.
The rifle was a Mossberg and he had purcahserd it only a few days before the incident. Apparently the pin attaching the bolt lugs to the bolt body broke and this allowed the bolt handle to close without the lugs fully closeing and when he fired the rifle the bolt flew out and hit him in the face.

Who is making rifles for Mossberg now? At one time Howa was but I doubt that a Howa rifle did that.

Lawyers humming and whistling in gleeful anticipation. No doubt the background music is a stirring rendition of "We're In the Money!"
