McSpredder Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Apologies for my ignorance, but could somebody please explain why a muzzle loader needs a bolt action mechanism at the breech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Unless i am mistaken that is a Mauser action centrefire and you can see the magazine assy/floorplate where the stock has blown away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx4cabbie Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Not a charcoal burner myself, but could it have been he'd not rammed down the charge enough, effectively creating a pipe bomb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 The way that rifle exploded would tend to suggest that there was an obstruction in the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
