Weird misfire

[Jim K]

That is an interesting story for those who respond to my caution by informing me that there is no such thing as a hangfire! But I admit that is the first time I have heard of it happening in conjunction with lack of a flash hole. Weird.

(Of course, had there been a flash hole, the round would have fired when the primer did, with unpredictable results and possible injury. You were lucky.)

No such thing as a hang fire? Apparently your detractors never had to shoot much of the old military ammo.......Im glad they arent teaching firearms safety anyplace. (I hope they arent)
