voodoo2762 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Ey upSo i was out on the crows today (full video to come) and while taking one i noticed a flash from the breach. Got home and looked back at the footage to see pretty considerable flames. Should this be something to be worried about? Sorry if the videos bad quality ive thrown it up on my phone.

Milo Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 First two rounds appeared normal but the third certainly was not. Appears to be a gas burn rather than remnants of late burning powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rimotu66 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Flipping eck, no need to pluck your nose hairs for a day or two. Agree with Milo, that does not look like powder burn but I have never seen anything like that before, had you recently cleaned/oiled it?

Guest rimotu66 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Not sure about oil as the flame is very clean, what do you clean it with, solvent? As Milo said, it does look like a gas flame but unsure what could cause that. Edited October 19, 2015 by rimotu66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo2762 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Not sure about oil as the flame is very clean, what do you clean it with, solvent? I use napier cleaner, remove it all, dry it off and lube it all with gun oil wipe excess then pull the boresnake through it the mornings i go out shooting.

Guest stevo Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) I will happen nearly everytime you fire the gun . But you only notice it on the last shot as the receiver is left open and does not return . Therefore your seeing the flame as the shell is being ejected . Its 100% normal . You will always notice it more with slow burning powders . Semi auto rimfires can also do it . Chill out and enjoy Atb stevo Edited October 19, 2015 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Nothing to worry about as stated. I've seen this happen with cartridges that have been poorly stored, where powder was ending up inside the gun, and it made me wonder if another cause of this might not be unburnt powder combusting whilst the action is cycling back.

Milo Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I disagree. Never seen a flame of that sort out of any semi I have ever used. Something akin to sparks of late-burning powder flicking out, yes, but even in the dark never a big gaseous flame of the sort in the video.

kent Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Open battery flame is more common than many realise it's just they don't shoot much in the dark to see it Change your shells it's the best cure for repeate offenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's fine. Happens all the time. You don't see the flames come out the muzzle till the lights go out but they are always there! GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Heavy cartridges have a slower burning propellant, ( to reduce the recoil) in the cold an amount of propellant is not/maybe not ignited. Keep your cartridges warm and dry, maybe this will stop/reduce this effect. When it is really cold and damp I keep a hand warmer in my cartridge bag.

rovercoupe Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Remington gun oil will make this happen and give a nice 8" flame out of the barrel, I went back to my old oil after this happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) As said, perfectly normal (on gas guns anyway, might be a bit more worried if it happened with an inertia gun as that might mean the timing is off on the locking lug). I caught a good one in slow-mo with my PSG gun when i was testing magazines for a jamming problem; http://youtu.be/7KarH3T_Ro0 EDIT: Ah i give up, can never get Youtube videos to imbed properly on here!!
