Re: ..some barrels are bursting badly.......

What reason would the Swedish army have for "setting up" Browning and Remington" ?

As I saw it the lack of reciol was due to all the energy being vented when the barrels shattered and destroyed the forends.
Nobody is trying to piss down your back just because they are American rifles or even Jap made american rifles. I thought it was informative as I have never seen tests like those although we often speak of pressure and bore obstruction dangers.
I have never liked hammer forged barrels, however if that is the critical factor in the manner in which they respond to gross overpressure then I might be sold on them for critical applications when one may not have time for a good check routine between rounds.

Food for thought as I saw it not an inditment of US products.
