Templar failure

[u/OrionPax120]

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.)

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again the only reliable .223/5.56 firearm we have here (for a decent price) are x95s
