One of our NY shooters preparing for Camp Perry had his rifle blow up.

Round was a 3 year old reload.

blow up occurred when trigger was pulled.

Bent op-rod, Split Bolt - no observable damage to receiver lugs.

Receiver and barrel was given to CMPicon for a Drill Rifle.

Safety bridge had a crack visible on the forward face.

What would fail if the receiver continued to be used assuming parts replaced with serviceable parts.

I am not suggesting that would be a routine practice - It would be an interesting study in the failure mode of the receiver with this defect.
