Somebody loaded one HOT
 

At the risk of repeating a thread, I thought this might be of interest. Looks to me like someone tried to fire a really hot load.

Or a normal round followed a squib load down the barrel, thus the crude shortening and reworking of the end of the barrel /front sight, along with the cracked receiver.

Never seen that many pics in an auction before.

Looks like someone took the bubba approach and shoved an artillery barrel, which was already shortened at the muzzle, into a 'donor' pistol. Note that the pistol lacks the cutout for the artillery rear sight at the front.

Typical mix-match. Price is too high
