[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 4117881, member: 41176"] Out of battery simply means the bolt doesn’t go into battery (fully lock). So if the bolt doesn’t lock, nothing’s holding the cartridge. That said, ref the 300BLK, as long as one can pull the trigger and drop the hammer, and causes the firing pin (inertia) to hit the primer, it’ll go. It would depend on how much gets shoved into the chamber I would think but I’ve never seen it or heard of it. I don’t think it’ll go. Apparently a 300BLK will go in a 556 catastrophically. I do think it’s from a 556 gun because the case mouth is still 556-ish diameter. It would be opened up to 30-ish cal in a BLK. He probably had a dry gun or some crap in the extension. The biggest culprit we always saw was leftover cleaning products like chunks of those little felt star chamber cleaners or pieces of patch and q tips. [/QUOTE]
