and with all this above I can show 20 fold M1A and Garand receivers that have failed and they have not been around as long as all the 1903's out there that are not exploding. Point being the Hype is there and people run with it. One guy runs around and makes a point of trying to show the National Ordinance receivers but there is only one on the net in pictures. I hear about Big Foot all the time but no one ever sees him.
Overload the cartridge and bad things happen. Screw with head space and bad things happen. Build a rifle and bad things happen. Many factors are involved in this mess as we see with many modern rifles blowing up due to Rocket Science bullet building today. Blame the rifle instead kind of like how they blame guns for crime.
