me too. this has reaffirmed a few things for me today.... ALWAYS wear eye protection..... Don't shoot alone... would have been an hour before anyone found me had that bolt hit me... Plastic is not now nor ever has been adequate for a firearm frame surrounding the bolt and carrier. when metal parts can fly toward your head they should be encased in metal. |

"You were probably shooting reloads or bare lead through it, right?"
(sorry, I couldn't help another jab at glock. Glad you're OK) |
|
just cheap plastic ones as much as i shoot and as many as i have traded and owned the law of averages just catch up with you once and awhile. i have never had a Quality well made firearm fail. |
|
|
KABOOM!
Glad you're ok. I'll scratch that off of my list of potential toys. |
|
It tends not to run too well when you run a mag full of squib loads through it
|

pics will be up after i get in touch with keltec. I am not going to bash them or allow them to be bashed until i have a response from them. this could be ammo or the gun. i am not pointing blame anywhere just yet.

+2 This is a FINGER BANG report! |
|
|
Gotta here the outcome on this one.
If it were me, I wouldn't trust that design ever again. A bolt flying back towards the forehead is too close for comfort. I would want my money back. |
|
You already called it a cheap plastic gun.....is that not bashing? I have never had to deal with KT but I hear they are a good bunch of guys. Glad you are alright. Got batch numbers on the WWB? |
|
|
I wouldn't call posting pictures of your blowed up gun bashing. How could it prompt anything more "bashing like" than this thread itself already has? |
|
|
Tagerino. I was going to order one on Tuesday; I'll await the outcome
|
|
Hey, the gun blew up, doesn't matter who's fault it is, good that there were no injuries, other than the hun.
Tag for pics though. |

KEL-TEC PLR-16 range report KABOOM update page 4 (Page 6)
Kaboom update is never a good thing, glad you were not injured. Next time to the range you should wear a motorcycle helmet. |
|
Just cause the guy posted pix of his blown up colt doesnt mean he was colt bashing. Lets see some pix. No one is pointing the finger we just want to see what an "Exploded Parts Schematic" looks like.

hear hear |

glad i read this thread i called my dealer on saturday and he say he had one in stock,was going to pick it up tommrow but ill guess ill hold off.
|
|
But that will take DAYS. We can't wait DAYS. |
|
|
Just curious, do you think the bolt flying backwards could have been going fast enough to kill you?
|
|
Glad the bolt didn't hit you.
It might not have buffed out! Well, I guess it probably would have..... Good to hear you are okay. And I am sure KelTec will make things right. Although I don't think anyone would blame you for forgoing an exchange and getting a refund instead. |
