    Recoil spring was found. The guide rod was massively ate up from the spring. Theres a slight bulge at the top of the chamber where it looks like the bullet was aimed up when it went off. I'll take more photos when I have a chance and post them up.

    As far as injury, Pieces of the grip blew off into hand, some burn on hand, and where plate blew out scraped the index finger nicely, with just a little powder burn on my face.

    Your guide rod being round is like everyones guide rod. Little roll topped ripples , not a big deal. I have a 1000 rounds now thru my tp40 with some very hot underwood loads and it like my cw have a wavy guide rod with around 1600+. If it fired with a round in transition from ramp to chamber its an ammo issue . High primer struck buy the breach face and fired ?

    Why should this thread be any different from the others?
