WOW, it didn't take long for someone to move those picts. over here......

Plugged bbls.do LOT's of damage!!!

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

Remington? They have strong actions! Looks like the action and stock are undamaged. Maybe it could be rebarreled.........

If one were to use an optical collimator, one would probably not try to shoot through it, as it projects up into the scope's field of view. Yet another reason to eschew those laser boresighters.....

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

That brought tears to my eyes

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

That is a crazy pic.


Can someone explain to me what happened to cause this? I know that something was in the barrel.

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

Moose,
It looks like the guy tried to use his bore-sight but didn't follow the golden rule.
TREAT EVERY GUN AS IF IT WERE LOADED!!!!!!!
Didn't check the chamber.
Hes lucky the bolt didn't come out and go through his skull.
Looks like a Savage,you can see the barrle nut in one of the picks.

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

Actually it looks like a savagesince it has a barrel nut.

I posted the link to these pictures last night on another thread.:D

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

That’s a hard way to learn a lesson...

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

Sure is a Savage. 30.06 is my guess too.

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

Let's put it this way...if I lended a friend a perfectly good gun like such and had it returned with a simple 'oops' I'd be big-time pi$$ed!!! [:@]

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

goose.....How much for it????

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

I call bs on that. there no way a barrel can split so perfectly as that. four precise equally splits. I aint buyig it.

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

Why four splits?Just a suggestion,but my boresighter collets have four splits as well,so if a bullet struck the expander,the pressure would be applied to four evenly spacedlocations around the barrel.

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

I'm wondering how many gun blow up's you've seen for comparison? I've seen a few, and blew one up myself... Stranger things than that happen!

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

The real question is why would someone ruin a rifle for a couple of pictures? That right there is enough to make me believe it.

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

It took until page 2 for somebody to yell fake. I'm suprised!:D

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

Been hunting for 30 years and never seen one. I'd be scared to hunt around you if you've seen plenty. hahaha.

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

I've never seen one when hunting, but i use to be very involved with balistics, bullet mfg. ect.. and along the way i've seen a few on the range ect...

Ido prefer to hunt alone, so i'm glad you don't want to tag along... :D

DM

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

The guy is likely still in shock anyway! I'll bet his head coming out of his a$$ made more noise than the gun blowing up.:D

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

Yikes!
Maybe the land/groove pattern provided evenly spacedweak points around the barrel's circumference, which they would.

You never know. There are people out there with money to burn who will do anything to make their point of view seem viable. If it really was staged, they could be using them to show how "dangerous" guns are, and how "unsafe" and "negligent" gun owners are.

I honestly think that somebody just had enough balls to document a screw up they experienced and is sharing it in the hopes thatit may save someone else a really bad day. In any case, it's not the kind of thing you get to see veryoften. Thanks for posting.

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

That doesnt even look like steel, looks like aluminum

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

The bore sighter is aluminum.As for the barrel,the blueing matches the action perfectly.Did you know that you can't blue aluminum?And if it is a fake,why would they bother to rifle the barrel?

RE: DUH!!!!!!!
 

Where are you gonna find a case for that now?!
