Fix my gun Canuck Operator bolt head failure

Buddy brought out his Canuck Operator tonight and we ran it like we usually do. We were shooting a mix of miscellaneous ammo: target loads, 3” steel birdshot, and 2 3/4" slugs.

On the last string, we had a failure to extract. Upon inspection, the shell was expanded and stuck in the chamber, the primer was sticking out of the brass, and the bolt head basically exploded.

Never seen this happen before.

Yeah I don't see how it's worth it for some people to justify it just because "it's a range toy". Doesn't matter that's still several hundred bucks that could have gone towards something better. Now they have something that breaks

Or they have something that blows up and takes their eye sight.

Underrated. A crappy toy the Turks made to get a quick buck is one thing, but they are definitely dangerous items when their QC is basically non-existent.

There is an entire thread of the simping in the 9mm cope gun thread

This is the point I was trying to make... People "reviewing" their turkshit are always "yeah man I put a box of shells through my new gun and it worked FLAWLESSLY except it didn't eject half of them but it's still breaking in" then give a "long term" review that's 6 months later with a round count under 300 🙄

Reminded me of people reviewing their Dodge Calibers back in the day, "my brand new car has been perfect for the last 6000 km, great car!" lol

And then all of these fucking guys come out of the woodwork saying "I've sent 5000 rounds through my M4 clone with 0 issues"

Dogshit liars.
