Wrong: i talked to the owner of the rifle; the gun was damaged by the firing of a reloaded .30-06 cartridge that experienced a case head separation. Some M1917 receivers were brittle too. It's not unusual for one to crack while rebarreling.

so the guy used hot loads and wore his brass out until he had an uncontrolled hot explosion, this is hardly the rifles fault. my brother blew up a rem 700 in 243 back when he was a kid by reloading without proper supervision... who in the world claims that the rem 700 is a flawed receiver design?
