New Year night and the sound of sporadic celebratory gunfire is sounding back and forth across our Village with fireworks thrown up ever few seconds.
We save fireworks for New Years as the Midnight sun does not let them have much of an effect, but our perpetual Polar night is perfect.
Anyways, it appears the daughter didn't notice a Wolf Steel 55grain 5.56 mixed in with her 7.62x39.
Midnight came and the line up and 'FIRE!' cranked right up, and Carol plugged away just fine, untill it was her last shot (Im standing behind em all, keeping it safe) went from 'BAM!' to 'Pow....' Hmmmmmmm.
At the cease fire she showed me an open bolt back and a case head stuck in the chamber.
I set the rifle aside as we reloaded and spent the rest of our shells as the kids were doing 20 and 30 round burns with AK's, Mini14, etc
Inside, later I took her SKS , used its cleaning rod and knocked out this;
Chambered from the magazine in semi auto loading, It fired.
2 cracks and the thinner steel formed to the 7.62x39 neck and shoulders......
Just sayin'
