They issued no conditions, I opted to remove it. Other people's posts more than cover it for those who want to know.- Hatch

Update: the ammo manufacturer has concurred that this was an ammo malfunction, and have agreed to make me and my friend whole. I have edited their name out of the original post. Moving forward, time to build a new rifle!- Hatch

Wow, that’s a lot of recalled ammo! As pictured in OP - this was 69 grain. Not addressed in any of those recalls. For folks asking - there was no squib in the barrel. No modifications other than cosmetic. Barrel was clear other than the brass case from the failed round, which blew off cleanly...- Hatch

Welllllll What’s interesting is we had shot a few dozen rounds, and we had one FTE in a different AR15 with just a slightly bulged case at the base same place this one fully failed. Hindsight we should’ve stopped there and told FM to buy em back…- Hatch

Last photo shows the majority of the brass still in the barrel, the rear of the case came out with the ejector and is on the bottom of pic.

I have a S&W M&P sport that has had thousands of rounds through it (but not tens of thousands) A friend gave me some remanufactured ammo, and I am fairly certain the case failed. No one was severely injured, but I’m out a rifle, magazine, and can’t trust the ammo. What would you do next? EDIT...- Hatch

What happened here?
Yea, seems that the regular posters are alright - its just the sale threads that are killing me. Ive wasted a lot of time on time wasters lately - years ago when I lived here before, I could buy/sell pretty much anything in a few days. But yea shit economy does play a factor I guess.- Hatch

What happened here?
This used to be an awesome site full of gun enthusiasts who were respectable adults. Now it seems everyone is a flake, no one able to figure out how to read an ad, let alone how to negotiate a deal…. Sad- Hatch
