Default Re:NO out of Battery

No, this was not a out of battery firing. The case was still FULLY seated in the chamber after the gun blew up. The belly in the fired casing was were it started to flow out the bottom of the chamber from high pressures. This was no doubt a over charged round.

If you notice the blow hole in the casing, it IS at the right point were it would line up with the extractor cut. I just dropped a live round into he chamber of one my my Lugers. I then put a mark at the point of the extractor cut area with a felt pen. It IS in the very same spot that the blown casing has the hole.

No, sorry to say, this was a bad round. I was standing 3 feet away and watching the gun when it happen. He was firing one slow shot at a time. That gun was locked up.
