Less than two hundred rounds through it. All Lake City. Third round of the third mag today it went Kaboom. Shooting steel multiple people heard the first two hits then the Kaboom. Upper is cracked, BCG stuck in the upper looks tore up, mag well expanded.

I've never had a PSA kaboom.


Hope you came through it uninjured.

Where's whatever is left of the cartridge that was fired when the gun blew up?

Have Bill call you.

It was because you were using a strike eagle.

It said “oh hell no! I’m out.”
11/28/2020 5:12:52 PM EDT

Do you still have the ammo box?  Lot number?

Call Geissele and Lake City.  I am sure one or both of them will take care of it.

This.  Arfcom can usually diagnose with closeup pictures of chamber and any brass

In on this one.

Glad you are ok, damn that was one of the green ones
11/28/2020 5:14:14 PM EDT
[#21]
Sounds like you didn't get hurt, so that is good.
11/28/2020 5:14:20 PM EDT
[#22]
hope you are ok OP.
11/28/2020 5:14:25 PM EDT
[#23]
I have that same exact rifle!

Where did you get the green magpul magazine?
11/28/2020 5:14:29 PM EDT
[#24]
Sorry to hear that.  I know I would be disappointed if that happened to a new rifle.
11/28/2020 5:14:32 PM EDT
[#25]
Hope you are ok. Please keep us posted with how this unfolds.


GD will surely get to the bottom of this

Hornady Frontier ammo?

ETA: There was a recalled batch of Hornady Frontier branded .223 or 5.56 Lake City ammo a couple years back.

This.

Please let us know how it works out though.


Also, what year of LC?
11/28/2020 5:14:55 PM EDT
[#29]
Ouch. That's a tough loss.
11/28/2020 5:15:28 PM EDT
[#30]
Are you ok man?
11/28/2020 5:15:29 PM EDT
[#31]
Don't take it apart.  Send it to Geissele.  They will most likely tell you it was an ammo problem.  What ammo?  I hope not reloads or you're screwed.

Yikes. Exploding green rifle makes shorts brown.

You get hurt at all from the kaboom?

Hope you are a-ok.
11/28/2020 5:17:17 PM EDT

Ooofffff thats fucking blows
11/28/2020 5:17:18 PM EDT

Held up better than some ARs, sounds like lake city owes you a rifle.
11/28/2020 5:17:33 PM EDT
[#42]
In.

Also wondering about a call to or from Bill.

Did the rail bend?

Seriously, glad you're okay. Do you have the original box for the ammo? Lot number?
Send it back to Geissele and inform Lake City. LC  will most likely want the unexpended ammo to check.
