[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2514056, member: 8377"] This is the correct answer. However, I would add that the chances of an out of battery discharge in an AR 15 is right about zero. It is physically impossible for the firing pin to protrude beyond the face of the bolt until the cam is activated to the point of lock up. My bet; without pics of the barrel or obvious barrel failure, is an over charged round. There seems to be a growing trend in the last 18 months or so of this type of cato caused from misloaded ammo. Just to clarify, an obvious barrel failure does not include the barrel extension. I would not be surprised if it is cracked, most probably at the 12 o'clock position longitudinally with the index pin. Im glad you werent hurt dude, that could have been alot more serious and it looks like someone was looking out for you. [/QUOTE]
