50 Bmg Blow up....
This rifle was designed with the cap to close in front of both ears which were part of the lower assembly. If the cap is not screwed on tight enough, the ears will prevent it from fully locking into place. I can't imagine the amount of pressure needed...not only to shear all of the threads off...- renov8

50 Bmg Blow up....
Another baseless comment with nothing to add...and you don't even own a 50. Nice. Over half the posts in this thread have no basis to the issue at hand, yet here we are, jumping on the bandwagon to nowhere. Talk about a clown act...- renov8

I never said you were wrong. From the first pages of this thread you had already made up your mind on Serbu...I can read it in your posts. So much for letting the facts come out before making a call...and as they do come out with the facts, this failure would have happened to basically any...- renov8

My reading comprehension is just fine. Why would you spend any amount of money on any gun, regardless of cost, knowing it was shit? That is some dumb shit there, Bubba.- renov8

Mark didn't know the exact pressures when he spoke after the catastrophic event. He clearly misspoke and "subsequently" corrected the error of his words and had an independent analysis done to determine the sheer pressures. He has nothing to hide...and has done everything in his means to make...- renov8

You know you have hit the target when all the comments that come back at you are personal in nature and nothing to do with the matter at hand. I have nothing in this fight other than the experience of dealing with the guy and how committed the guy is to this community and the 2nd Amendment...- renov8

Mark subsequently had someone detail how much force was needed to breach the threaded cap and strip the threads...160,000ksi give or take. The damage to the rifle actually exceeded those numbers due tot he depth of all the threads being completely removed. The ears on the back of the rifle...- renov8

I read enough of this thread to know I was going to be in the minority. I have seen and heard many other explanations to what the cause and effect of a deleterious round would do to ANY rifle. How much pressure are you going to design into a gun to safely blow up?- renov8

How much pressure are we going to allow to build up in a rifle and have it blow up safely? Do you hear what I just wrote?- renov8

Do I sound worried? Hardly. I don't spend a lot of time here...not because I don't like it. I prefer other forums. Its unfortunate what happened to Scott and that rifle. In reading the various reports that have been promoted as indicators for the failure of the rifle, its difficult for...- renov8

I understand real engineering. I also understand engineering and building concepts that are out of the box thinking. Its what drives innovation and design. How many new ideas have there been presented in the gun world in the last few years...that have taken off? Lets eliminate the same old...- renov8
