#1 thing you are OK
I had a bad accident with a ww2 F/A sten it double fed and blew,got 9mm scrap in my face and hand but it was fun to shoot
i luv ww2 F/a weapons, nothing like shooting a MG42 f/a from the hip at a fridge...rambo aint got nothing on that 8mm LOL

Zoli... an MG42? Nice, that's like 1200 RPM !!

I am curious to see the pics of the Stag too. At first report I would have said a squib round also. That's happened to me before, but I noticed the difference in recoil before pulling the trigger again. Sure enough, the bullet was in the bore. Too close for comfort. I watched the torture tests on G&A TV and they have successfully fired rounds behind bullets still in the bore in a couple guns and the rifle held together. You never know though. Years ago when I was a kid, a TX DPS trooper family friend had a 357 with a blown up top strap and cylinder from a bad load accident. He kept the pistol mounted in a frame on the wall.

You're right, my squib didn't have the usual recoil and had a muffled retort. The ejection wasn't complete either. Luckily I didn't just do a tap, rack, bang clearance drill because the bullet was definitely in the bore. A cleaning rod with a round tip on it pushed the bullet through the rest of the way. I'm thinking yours either had a horribly overpressured round, maybe a defect in the extension or chamber area could do it also. Who knows? Let us know what you find out though. Stag has a solid warranty so you'll come out fine. Glad you weren't hurt severely.

You should be a spokesman for shooting glasses now! That was a close one. Glad you didn't get hurt.
