Cross posted from the New Mexico forum. An object lesson in the power of the M1 and what can happen when things go terribly wrong.

I saw it yesterday. Very compelling reason to wear safety equipment.
There's several reasons that could cause that. But the end result could be the same.
I had an OOB discharge once on a .22 upper to an AR-15. No damage to the rifle or me but you don't quite look at things the same for a while after......
I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that my first thought was, "NO! Not the M1!!" :-[
Well, she seemed OK, and there are only so many Garands left in the world. ::)
