Thread: Another 338 Lapua blow up

And you're about as subtle as a 12" erection. You couldn't wait to start another Blaser bash.

Sounds like the voice of experience Dave, can't say I have ever seen one

I could have posted it 4 days ago so clearly I did wait...... not that it is a Blaser bash.....we could make it one if you like....

Obviously you can't post anything bad that ever happened to a Blaser without upsetting Blaser owners.:rolleyes:

With that in mind he should build a 338 Norma and be done with it.

Cheers

There's no doubt the BLASER failed! It's the cause we want!

A 6mm this time...WTF is going on lately, "rise of the machine" ??

You'll Shoot Your Eye Out. . . .

rise of the dumb more like. Check your barrels guys.

How's this fella last week. Takes a second for him to understand that his right shoulder is dislocated. Then He runs around and everyone panics

Same dude? looked like same dude,Is he trying to make a living by blowing firearms up on u tube?

Years ago , I looked into the Blaser R93 , as they had a what I thought was a nice rifle , I did some research , and simply was not happy with what 2 oversea's gunsmiths had to say , at about the same time , they had a spate of blow ups ( now all makers can & will have blow ups , just the nature of selling firearms , you cannot stop stupid acts , or negilanace , or hot or incorrect ammo/reloads being used ) .
And where other makers rifles fail , the action usually holds together and at the very leasts stops the bolt coming back into the shooters face .
When I looked at the blowups that caused the bolt to fly back into the shooters face , it seemed that the calibres where a couple of belted 300 magnums and a rimless as well , they where the hunting versions , and they failure seemed to happen , when you had a hot load that caused the primer to fail/pierce then the hot gasses vent down the firing pin hole , and then the gasses destroy the plastic washer used to cam & lock the finger splines into the locking groove , then the action is unlocked during firing .

At the time , the rumour was that the different R93 338LM actioned rifle , had a metal washer to stop this happening in a 338LM rifle .

I choose to buy & use other rifles , thats just me ,

I own a Blaser so will be tarred as biased but I just don't see this as a real scenario. Seriously a plastic washer? I think someone has sold you a interweb story Chris. my rifle was just short of being recalled because Blaser were not satisfied with a small stainless pin in the trigger possibly not being made correctly when out-sourced and then to think the action is locked up by a plastic washer????
Its a bit heavy sure I can wear that and the barrels on offer are limiting yep true but a plastic washer??? Nah, don't think so.

Speaking of dangerous malfunctions
