I wonder how many times that brass had been reloaded hot previously? It's more about quality factory ammo than quality AR parts IMHO.

Would OOB cause the extreme overpressure indicators on the case head?
Wouldn't there be a squib in the case of OOB?
MarkCo's post makes sense to me.
Billet does not make sense to me. I'll stick with forged thank you very much.
First question, NO WAY! Even more so the fracturing of the carrier says it was not an OOB.Quote:

Curios what the results would have been w/a Gen 2 lower with a flared magell. The standard magwell allowed the lower to bend laterally along the top and bottom edges but a flared magwell adds triangular rigidity to that bottom edge, quite a bit too at that, so I'm curious what happens if the energy isn't absorbed through distortion like that. Perhaps just more energy escaping downwards. Added energy could have caused the lower to actually fracture causing more of an 'explosion' at the magwell. Hard to say. I do agree w/Mark's assessment though.
