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.

I'd argue if you can't afford a quality shotgun like a Benelli or Beretta or even a Mossberg, you shouldn't even consider these Turkish garbage rods. Not worth the money or safety risk.
