This barrel has 17 stuck in it. Notice the lead extruded out the gas port. Gun would not fire again because the action failed to open after the last shot because the gas port was plugged. This is a Ruger 44 carbine.

The guy was thinking "this thing sure is inaccurate, but at least there's no recoil".

He must have had some great ear plugs . Lucky for him he didn't have any with a real powder charge after the first squib. I guess you can fix stupid but it must be a heck of an hourly rate.
What is his name on this site?
Says a lot for the strength of the Ruger Carbine. WOW!
Maker of Silver Boolits for Werewolf hunting
Yikes.
That's a strange way to store your boollits ,
Only thing I can say is "WOW"
If it ain't broke don't fix it! I disagree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it to the death! When people fear the government it is tyranny, when government fears the people it is Liberty!
Simply amazing!!!!!!!!
I've seen pictures of sectioned Webley revolver barrels in the same situation. I would hope they, and this one, were perpetrated with a pitted or worn barrel, in a spirit of scientific inquiry, from a remote rest.
Looks like they were jacketed bullets he used by what looks like jacket material in the cross sectioned barrel, very lucky indeed that it held.Robert
"O-boy " with my head shaking walking away, just about says it all.
that is sad!I was just looking at those rifles and decided the price on them was to high for my blood and that guy done screwed that one up!
Scary that they are out there and they do breed.
First shot appears to be cast lead, the rest are jacketed, I believe the first one was a squib load and the rest were also light loads. A factory load probably would have split the barrel. I could feel several small bulges running my finger down the outside. Considering the mag only hold 4 rounds the gun had to be reloaded at least 5 times. There is no rust or pitting on any parts that I can see. I had the pleasure of making a new barrel for it.

It still gives an appreciation to a strong gun.
I can't see that fella belonging here either.
I didn't know Forest Gump was allowed to purchase a firearm . . . . . . .
But, it does speak well for Ruger I guess . . . .
Perhaps this guy should stop shooting and take up knitting? Oh, wait a minute . . . knitting needles have sharp ends.
John i hope you have a hydrolic press and a good barrel vise to secure barrel to press those out. the most i have pressed out was 7 from a rifle.
they are borned every minute
