Deutsche,

I am going from memory here, but as I recall, on O'Connor's Springfield that you mentioned, the firing pin broke after a shot, lodging the remaining tip of the pin in the forward firing position. When he pushed the bolt forward to chamber the next round, that cartridge fired before the bolt was fully closed, blowing the bolt back and injuring his thumb. I suppose this could be called a blow-up, but I do not recall that it was because of a low number 03 receiver failure.

There is a detailed account of this in one of his books, but I cannot find it off-hand.
