Gewehr, you may be right. I just cannot figure out how the receiver ring and everything else got blown apart if the round was not overpressure. I could see the bbl SPLITTING if it was such a POS, but the receiver ring should have stopped the chamber from coming apart. The cartridge appears to have DETONATED in the chamber like TNT or other high explosive. Some of the action should have held together if the bbl alone was at fault. But, that rifle is demolished.
 I am not an expert but I am amazed!!! Like pop always said, you learn something new every day.
