THIS IS A REPOST FROM FIREARM BLOG (it did not happen to me, sorry if I did not make that clear)
www.thefirearmblog.com S&W M&P15T Epic KABOOM (http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2011/07/27/sw-mp15t-epic-kaboom/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheFirearmBlog+%28The+Firearm +Blog%29)
Cartridge #45 out of the first 50 round box. USAammo 223 55 gr FMJ Lot #2906113.
The ammo was recently purchased USAammo, remanufactured on once fired LC brass. As you can see from the pics, the usual parts suffered catastrophic damage. The Troy quadrail seems to have helped keep the upper receiver from completely coming apart.
The destruction: Both sides of S&W factory upper assembly, the dustcover, both front corners of the magwell, hairline fractures directly under the left and right sides of the picatinny rail, cracked barrel extension in the middle of the feedramp, factory lower bulged on the bolt catch side. The PSA MPI bolt, the Failzero bolt carrier, and the PMag were completely damaged also.
Possible damage: BCM vltor gunfighter CH, RRA 2 stage trigger/hammer, pivot pins.
