Scuttle-butt was that it was inappropriate nitro cartridges in a very old gun but I do not know the facts. No one hurt, thank goodness, just hurt pride and one more lovely old gun gone to heaven.

If anyone knows the person involved, please let him know I would be most interested in evaluating the barrel remains gratis if he would contact me at revdoc2@cox.net Also ask him to retain the remaining shells from the box he was using. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZnptAPvQIlWG5n5UU2FmKcFpYtVmOSc4b7K7G9IBs4g/edit https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

In recent catastrophic failures nearly identical to this one it has been determined to have been caused by a barrel obstruction.

Asymmetric bulge related to the addition thickness of the brazed barrel flats and support of the right barrel Was the gun a 10g being shot with Federal hulls?
