Fluted firing pins

Dwight..Yes of course. I was just thinking the bolt has an overlaping edge and one possibility is pressure grabbing it on the way out and with the channel for the extractor...It might be possible to account for the damage shown. On a practical side though, the extractor is pretty vulnarable there...
Whenever I have had a cartridge case blowout on the range it has taken out the magazine as that seems to be the path of least resistance although brass was sprayed into the face of the shooter...Good thing he had on shooting glasses!
