    Ahh, bad ammo

    Always puts a damper on things when a rifle blows up in your face

    Squib or overcharge? Sucks either way. Hope no injury.

    Could have been either that caused it. Not sure yet. It blew up in my face but I'm good. Bloody lip and cuts on arms. Lower blew the bolt catch off and the upper part of the magwell is bowed. May be salvageable. Not sure.

    Yeah, rifle parts can be replaced, thank God you still have your trigger finger! Factory ammo or hand load?

    Unless it is a Form 1 lower, I wouldn't risk it, but even then I'd have a gunsmith check it over.

    It was a form 1 lower. It was an upper and lower SW MP. It's my uncles SBR and his ammo he bought from a popular company. I won't post it on public board yet but anyone who PMs me I'll let know who so it doesn't happen again. It's recent re manufactured ammo
