Mark. I am 53 years old and have been shooting trap and skeet off and on all my life. I have been at trap shoots where barrel bursts have occurred on a couple of occasions. I remember a Perazzi in particular where the forearm was blown apart as a result. I do not know the particulars, such as altered barrels, obstructions, etc. I agree with you and others, barrel bursts are relatively rare events, but they do occur at times. And I think most guns out there are safe....some aren't.

Socialism is almost the worst.
