Squib load

[PeterJ]

Good news ! Took the guns to my LGS this morning and in about 1/2 hour, they managed to get the bullet out of my 6" intact and they got the jacketing out of the 4", all with no damage. So all that remains is to hear back from Armscore about the bad ammo.

I finally had one, in a semi auto STEN gun homebuilt. I didnt realize what had occurred and triggered another round which blew them both out but ringed my barrel and blew the cartridge case. A piece of the brass case punctured my neck and slid under the skin up under my right ear. Had to be surgically removed. To scared to shoot it again lol.

Howdy, Peter J
Thankfully, you had the wherewithal to recognize the problem and not fire another round behind the squib. Unfortunately, despite safety controls, we (Armscor) and all other ammo manufacturers, reloaders, occasionally let one or two slip past the goalie. That’s why most owners manuals cover this.

Please go to: [email protected] and file a claim and we’ll replace your ammo, and reimburse up to $75 for the professional removal of each squib. Please include that you were referred by “Dr. Lou”.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at [email protected]

Respectfully

Lou

Lou, hats off to you and Armscor!

I had a 45 cold round of Winchester origin several years back that wouldn’t chamber. Good thing too. I put it in my bullet puller and lo and behold it had a second bullet. I’ve reloaded probably 70 percent of all my ammo since. Scary stuff. Imagine if it had been 44 mag and chambered. I’d contact the manufacturer. They will probably make good on it.

Duplex round!
