The Baby had an accident!

[Doug G.]

Well, I took my pride and joy to the range tonight for the first time to break her in. Had a few cycling problems then on the fifth round it happened. The toggle would not retract to pick up the next round. Upon closer inspection I found this.

Well as you can guess it was all over then! I packed it up and took her home. <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" />
As to why this happened I can only guess that the breech block was weak there? I did notice that the primer on the round was very enlarged which means high pressure and I had a old style firing pin in.
Well I pulled out my parts box and found another breechblock that matches Ted's bluing and put it in. Plan on testing it out later this week. I was kicking myself about this, but then again I had this gun done to shoot, not be a safe queen! She WILL live again!

By the way the ammo I was using when the incident occured was Federal Ballisticlean which I have fired before in my byf 41 without incident.
