Newton, I haven't seen it myself. I heard about it 3rd hand. I don't think my name is mentioned explicitly but the word is, everyone knows who it is... I dunno. Blow up a gun and it's like you are a celebrity who's sex tape just got leaked. Frickin' ridiculous.
I'd sure like to hear what you find out about it. I should write a book about all the slam-dunk verdicts that have been given to explain what happened for absolute certain. Personally, I really don't know, but I have 2 or 3 favorites.

Vall, Yes, and my brother blew up a Mod 700, I don't think it was 100 years old. Look again at my comment, I specified moderate loads. Mike No, I saw the "moderate" part. But there's still evidence that these guns have indeed come apart with "moderate" loads.

I think the bottomline is that exists a considerable amount of evidence that there exists a problem with low number 1903 Springfields. If this evidence did not exist then there would not be the amount of discussion that has taken place over the last nearly 100 years. What worst is that you could look at 2 of these actions and one might blow up and the other not. And whats scary is that there is not anyway of telling which is which until BANG! To deny is just to fool yourself and not use good understanding of risk management and or statistics.
The reality is that if these guns were made in this century there would be lawsuits up the hind end and significant recalls. Everyone can do as they wish, I believe Darwin wrote a whole book about the issue here. Survival of the fittest.
Brent you did nothing wrong and no matter what all the self proclaimed experts say the first and foremost first order failure here was a defectively manufactured rifle action.
