And he never clarified if he was using factory ammo when he split the barrel.
The guy stated in the thread that he loaded the rifle with a round that he was pretty sure would blow the rifle up, then tied the rifle to a fence post and fired it with a string tied to the trigger because he didn't want to injure his arm.
This is what he claims, but his story doesn't add up.
The barrel looks like the result of a barrel obstruction. I've seen one like that...it had ice in the muzzle...an alternative explanation is that he accidentally blew up his rifle and his story is an attempt to get JES to cough up a new rifle. Now he's calling out JES for poor customer service, because JES says it was his own fault.
To his credit, JES sent him back his action and an original barrel not installed and he's whining on that it's JES's fault for like 400 pages...
I don't know JES at all, but I wouldn't hand this guy a working rifle either, just for safety sake.
Sometimes refusing to do what the customer asks IS good customer service.
