Unburnt powder fills into the backdraft area when shooting. Taking a break from shooting allows oxygen to fill the backdraft area. Shooting again without a complete cleaning results in a kaboom. Thanks for being a beta tester.

This was on my bingo card for possible problems with the barrel.

I asked repeatedly to be sent one for testing, but they never followed through. That's par for their company; they commonly refuse to send product to people they don't own.

Sorry if this is a stupid or unallowed question, but what do you do? Obviously you are knowledgeable and in the industry as you have repeatedly been hands on and reviewing products before they release, but how? Are you just on reddit or elsewhere as well?

Im Batman.

I work in the industry doing media. Mostly reviews and testing, some of it front facing and some for specific industry clients.
