Templar failure
About 200 rounds through. Brass deflector blasted off at the same time as what looks like the piston shot out the front. First I've heard or seen this happen with a Templar, but I'm not thrilled.
Awaiting word from customer service. I don't want to say it, cause I really enjoy the Templar for what it is, but I should have just gone with the Bren 2.
(aside from this I enjoy the thing... Hoping I'm just the unlucky fluke.)

Looks like the threads on the gas cap are intact so likely was not tightened fully. Did you just clean the gas system? The piston looks like someone cleaned the end of it at least. Its not an adjustable gas system (to the people asking about that) so it's either fully tightened or loose. Did you recover the spring as well for the piston? I don't see it in the pics. (edit. nevermind, I see it in the last pic inside the foregrip)
Going to check the screws on my deflector now just to ensure they are still tight. Not something I would normally be concerned with but if it happens to one gun it can happen to others.
