Pablo Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 .40S&W. I'm not all hating on HiPoint either. They wanted to see my rifle really bad. #1 round was sent down range for a dead on bullseye. Didn't chase the shell.Shot #2 went kablammy all over my right hand. Bolt is permajammed back. Ammo was factory OK. Gun left on Monday for Beemiller. I can see that at least some of the pressure happened out of battery.1st, 2nd and 3rd round. 3rd round was like that in the magazine.I went and fetched Rnd #1 after the blow out:This little devil was exciting: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryinIN Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have a 10mm case that looks a lot like that. Quite exciting, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted February 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 No. Not at all. Just stung my hand pretty good. Felt it for a little while afterword. That sort of surprised me. That ugly rifle is pretty well enclosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Good to hear that you didn't get hurt. Many others have not been so fortunate. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtell Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Picture of the 1st fired shell case - would this be an indicator of an over sized chamber / over sized reamed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Got my gun back. Burr in chamber and chamber was not deep enough.Will shoot soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 NOW I know why people like these silly things! Fun.The gun shot like a champ. Shooting low - I swear it was dead on the first shot need to crank the rear sight up. My only problem is I didn't bring enough ammo!!I did some steel shooting at 200 yards. Doesn't hit like a .308, but it hits!! Need more .40S&W ammo......... On a serious note, it's a gun I can let anyone shoot to learn a simple semi auto carbine. Heavy, easy, if it gets dropped I won't cry. I want several gun types in this learn to shoot category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
