Hey Keith,
I'd send your pictures to Federal and ask for a response. They should have some explanation.

Looks like an out of battery discharge.
Possible when you fire real fast.
How old is the rifle?
You should send it in to S&W for their "upgrade to current specifications"

jodie i bought the rifle new 18months ago......

sending the rifle back to S&W from here in England haha

that would be a nightmare these days:(

Jodie just what is the "current specifications"........and do you

know from what serial number there was an upgrade?

after firing this round i checked over the extractor and bolt

and all seemed ok. so carried on another full mag..

Keith





do you know from what serial number
 
I've had it happen twice on the same rifle. First time was when it was brand new, I was on my second mag and it made a funny pop when I pulled the trigger. Upon on inspection I found the case in the same condition as yours.
It happened with Remington GB . I sent it back to S&W and they upgraded the springs and what ever else. It happened a second time a couple years after the first with Remington GB but this time it blew the extractor out. I ended up making an extractor for it and it's still humming along today.
The thing I noticed was that the bullets on the GB's would stick in the chamber and not allow the bolt to go to battery and this is what caused both my OOBD's. Now I always make sure I scrub the chamber often when using GB's or not use them at all. The bad thing is I have a **** load of them so I watch when loading and make sure I don't load any that a bit suspect
 
Keith. The "upgrade to current specifications" is a bit of sarcasm. That's the only information provided. A blue recoil spring and a different extractor are All I know about.
