Burst Barrel

[Bruce Day]

Another fluid steel barrel failure.

Stuck wad? Not using RST shells? Reload?

[Rick Losey]

well - hopefully no ones fore hand was near the burst.

i would have to say - wall thickness looks good

[Drew Hause]

Well Bruce at least you won't have to drag that thing all over Kansas anymore.

[Dean Romig]

Probably had too much choke so they bobbed the barrel.

[David Weber]

Do you think if they had tried the RST shell made for these type of guns, this would have happened?

[chris dawe]

Can you imagine the ringing in your ears after that !!!!

[John Dallas]

WHAT?

Morris at RST is working on a "Best Grade" 10 inch Parrot Rifle Spreader load for Destry's Punt Gun :shock: Tends to propel the dingy back to shore rather quickly however :rolleyes:
