it does appear as though the bolt was not in battery. but if that was the case, why did the bolt not move backwards? perhaps an oversized neck diameter stopped the cartridge from fully chambering,...

Only the lug tip broke and that one is inside the bolt, it won't break from something in the way when chambering, it only breaks because of metal fatigue caused by repeatedly "hammering" of the...

Good for you, Carlos! We really need to have a postmortem on the rifle. -ArchFluffy

Carlos, the forensics scientist. Will be interesting to see what you determine from this rifle. SRO

Well restoring that one is going to keep you off the streets during the winter months ! Looking forward to what more you find out about it. Guisan.

Thanks Slug for parting with the rifle. It looks like the bolt was not locked up. Stud on operating rod must have sheared off upon closing the action. See how the case seems to have flowed a bit to...

Nice pics Carlos, is the barrel ok with nothing left in it ? That stud tip was sheared off because the operating rod was not fully forward, the striker pin rim sheared it off otherwise the complete...

Inside of the barrel is fine, but the barrel threads have been bent enough on the right side to make it difficult, if not impossibles to re-use it in another receiver . I'll add a picture later tonight.

Carlos - Thanks. Very informative. GREAT PICS! Ron

. I still think the chap had an over-load of 2400 in this case. The locking lugs were evidently engaged in their recesses in the receiver when the round went off. Otherwise the bolt would have been...

Hi Guys, Interesting rumpling effect on the brass case near where it's supported by the bolt face. Semper Fidelis, Fathead

A K31 does not blow up due to a overload that easy, remember what that small BP (Beschuss Probe) stamp stands for ? A normal GP11 generates a pressure of 3200 kg/cm2 or 45515 PSI in a K31 and the...

From what I can see in Carlos' excellent photos, it appears to me the case was fully chambered and supported by a locked bolt - not an out-of-battery incident. The main evidence is the case itself,...

Hmmmm. . . Norma has a reputation for being a little soft and a bit thinner than some others - but not for poor quality control. A case would have to be about "dead soft" to let go like that at normal...

The sudden gas release from a case head failure (usually from excessive pressure) frequently blows off the top of the reciever ring. I'm fairly certain this rifle was blown by a massive overload.
