A heck of a blowout!

I just got a twist barreled lifter in that I bought for parts. I knew the barrel was “damaged”, but damn. This thing is wrecked.

Home proof test failure. Must have been a powerful load used.

A little acra-glass, some dye added to it and judicious sanding and it'll be good as new. :whistle:

I finally got around to stripping the frame that these barrels came off. I found that the frame had also been crack through damn near all the way to the bottom! Someone welded it back up in the past for cosmetic/display purposes I guess. This was one hell of a failure.

Looks like the result of a double powder charge.
