Sharpshooter.123 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Go and buy some cheap ammo and put through it, something like cci and see if it does the same. It might have proof marks mate but it still could be out of proof I can't help you with what the marks mean tho, matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Sim The furthest right is Def' German - the middle ones appear to be German on the left but I cannot make out the other two - the one far left I have no idea of - there are NO uk proof marks apparent on there though.

Dekers Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 That is a catastrophic failure of something for a .22lr sub, those cartridge cases looks like .22lr ammo fired in a .22WMR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Headspace problem. Take the gun back. Its expanding too much and i wouldnt use it any more until they lap the correct bits to tighten it up. I cant imagine the barrel being at fault, but maybe the bolt just has too much play in it.

FarmerSim Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi All, just a brief update with regards to this "gun". After all the advice, I decided to return the thing - safety first and all that. The RFD was Ok about this, and returned my money less the cost of the ammo I bought. I think I'm gonna buy a new Browning T-Bolt, once I have my variation through to free up the slot on my license again - once that happens I might be asking for the PW's collective thoughts as to whether I should.... or not!! I would also like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who helped me with this, all the support both on the open forum, and by PM. It was great to know that I was not on my own!
