From the link below.........

"A friend of mine is this guys brother. Apparently there was a live round jammed in the chamber & he was trying to get it out. That is why he was disassembling the gun. It appears that it fell out of his gun vise & discharged.
Anyone familiar with guns knows this condition isn't that uncommon."

Once again,, More ?????... Granted I don't know it all.. But,, I'm sure the commies had a three foot drop test also.. And, I haven't seen to many vices mounted higher than 3'.. Even though I believe that under the right circumstances, anything is possible.. A live round hung up in an AK chamber... Can't really say that that is too common in My knowlege..

It’s sad what happened. I feel sorry for the guy and his family. But personally, I’m not really interested in exactly how this tragic accident happened. Up till now this thread has been full of “..if’s, but’s and how’s”.

If the gentleman I quoted from that link truly is the friend of the victims brother, and what he says is the truth, then this is to date the closest first hand explanation we have.

For that matter, if the guy was home alone, and was killed by the incident, how the hell does the brother know what happened.

Perhaps the brother was out earlier that day shooting with the deceased? Who knows? Only time will tell if anything will reveal more to this accident.
