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.

Sheared the locking lugs off? I don't know why people keep buying Turkish guns.

It's almost impossible for it to have been the ammo, it would have had to be a triple charge for it to shear off the lugs as it did. This is quite a common failure on the turkish m4 clones.

Blaming it on the ammo is just cope
