Some guns you buy for the gun, some for the story

I did use those photos as a teaching tool for my daughter to talk about what could have caused it and why. It made for a very dramatic lesson.

I would think that if there was a case to be made against Marlin for producing a defective product the rifle would be exhibit #1 and would be retained as evidence. Since it's being offered for sale so quickly after blowing up, the owner either knows the cause was not the gun or he has bad legal counsel.

Description says 48 gr of imr3031 pushing 300 gr bullet, so it sounds like a handload...which voids most warranties. :sad20:

Assuming jacketed data works for solid bullets, that is well within the safe zone for Marlin actions...and even trapdoors. :shrug:

I would love to get a closer look...but not for $1k

Serious question, cause this is freaky.

Is this really possible from a patch left over, or an alternative "soft" obstruction in the barrel? (Insects? Really???) Assuming the round was loaded to spec is this sort of accident possible?

Why I always run a dry patch down a rifle that has been in the safe a while; just to be 100% sure there is no obstruction.
