You guys are going to have to speak up when talking to me. My new 17HMR blew up in my hands! Stock split, magazine blew apart and out of the gun, ears still ringing for the last 6 hours! Hmmm What did you say???? LOL! I'm glad to be realitively healthy, well physically anyways! Glad I wear glasses. I got pelted with gun powder when it blew up. For anyone interested it WAS an Remington Model 597 LS HB.
When I pulled back the slide and looked the case was not fully in the chamber. It was all crumpled up and flattened. I am amazed that the gun could fire a round that is not fully chambered!
Now where is that ringing noise coming from???
