Fix my gun Canuck Operator bolt head failure

Gallery image

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.

Canuck is insanely overrated. I have yet to see one go without failures on the range. Either light strikes, jams, failures to feed, or just straight up breaking like this one.

I have a cunuck, so far 200 target loads with no issues, but I haven’t tried any slugs or buckshot yet. So basically so far no issues with mine but I’m sure I will have some issues sooner or later

I guess that’s fair yeah, i got the gun used in summer and only shot twice since time is genuinely not something i have whatsoever. I barely get a free day in a month. So who knows how many rounds were through it prior to me getting it, I just thought to add my two cents to the conversation
