Nothing on that upper except the actual stripped upper itself was milspec. Who would let this bonehead work on their rifle?"It's all milspec stuff" right off the bat that BCG isn't. Nor is the rail / barrel nut. Or the gasblock.

I don't know failures like that, I wonder if he's using store bought ammo?
This, too. There's no way in hell too much gas caused that problem.No f***ing way "too much gas" causes a catastrophic failure, especially from an adjustable gas block which can't give you "more gas" than the actual port would allow a normal gas block. It doesn't add "extra" gas; it only restricts. Wide open is wide open.
Reloads?
Looks an awful like a .300 blackout round was fired in a 5.56 chamber...
also, why an adjustible gasblock on an unsuppressed non sbr? wanted the gucci stuff? His rifle reeks of wish parts.
what I meant by my comment is that I don't see a need for a JP adjustable gas block for a "standard" 16" non sbr, non suppressed build.It wasn’t an SBR....300Black out could be possible. But it would’ve been more catastrophic all you have to able to look at the barrel and know exactly what happened
Yes and the bullet will set back into the case if it contacts the neck/lead/lands. SoIs it actually possible to chamber a 300BLK
into a 5.56 chamber and still close the bolt?
Never tried it but would seem the bullet wouldn't allow it into the throat.
Yes and the bullet will set back into the case if it contacts the neck/lead/lands. So
even more potential for higher pressure.
Yeah. This is part of why I've taken so long to build my 300 pistol, and it's being configured so differently from my 223 rifles. You can't idiot-proof everything, but you can build systems to prevent catastrophic mistakes and keeping these two separated is one of the easiest ways to do that.‘That settles it for me. I’m never bringing both to the range. I never knew that.
Must have been one of those "SLAP" rounds.
I blame Ruger. f*** them and their dumpster fire company.
Ice Arms...Ah times are tough.
People buying BCGs off eBay and shit
