Can't diagnose a problem described in a couple sentences.

Are you saying the cartridge detonated and blew out the mag and all the rounds? Out of Battery (OOB) detonation? Pieces of the cartridge case left in the chamber? ???

wow.... the OP is going to need to write a proper sentence to get a serious answer.

If the OP is truly having that serious of an issue......

I agree proper sentence structure would be helpful. However, if the stock is cracking and pieces of the magazine are being blown out the prudent thing to do would be to call SAI and send the rifle back to them for inspection and repair.

A 70 year old Stock was made in 1946? Is someone talking about an M1 Garand here? Almost 17 years before M14's came along...

Anyway, welcome Lukec. But shorthand text type info does not always give sufficient info to resolve technical/mechanical issues on things that go BOOM.
Sorry guys and Lukec, I wasn't trying to come off as flippant.... just REALLY surprised by the lack of info.

There is a lack of info given. Trash in trash out, so to speak. Are you talking about aan m1 garand or an m1a? People are asking questions that you should probably answer. Just saying.
Sorry I blended your post with the op

LukeC,

That must be a C&B magazine.


The mag drops everything after the first round and damages the stock, to be compliant with Clinton & Bloomberg regulations.
That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. Pure awesome…..

Lukec Welcome to the forum, sorry about the issue with your rifle. Some advice would be to take pictures, and to explain in more detail. Good luck fixing it!

I think there is a condition here!
I know I don't have to say if a load blows out a Mag and busts up a stock there is a wee problem.
I would stop shooting until I found out what it may be.
