Yeah, I guess. Trying to force the round in to a tighter chamber was most likely his problem and ended up crushing the rim, the shooter was a bit ham-fisted at the best of times. He has since emigrated and isn't our problem any more ;)

The person I got them from found them on a beam in a greenhouse on his nursery, probably left from a pest session operation many years ago, and he realised when he tried to ram one in his little rifle and it went off OOB when he gave it a bit of muscle.

I've got just under a 100 of these looking for a good home (after I've kept the obligatory few for my collection).
I would not argue about procuring a couple either....for collection purposes that is

You did it!! Nice work. I'm considering selling my HK416c stock, great fun though.

Superb glass, I have an identical DR on my CSR rifle. Just very lucky to pick 2 up for a good price.
