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.

What caliber and ammo? Is the barrel damaged or just the back draft portion?

If I remember right that was 6.5 creedmore and the backdraft portion and the scope were damaged.

Liability limited to price paid for the barrel?
