What was that, do you think? A round went off out of battery?

i think it was shot.

left side entry, right side exit

and i think the full auto (see the selector), and the lower is no longer usable, so basically a total write-off

Wow...smart.
Unless the damage is internal, it doesn't look like anything is particularly wrong with the lower receiver. On second thought, it looks like it might be bulging a little on the right side, or maybe that's just the upper as well. Hard to tell from the angle.
Either way, I stand by my initial assertion... that's an expensive oops.

Default My latest Home Roll

I recently Purchased a package that included a 7.62 YHM Phantom QD suppressor. (it has to stay at the Dealer until Uncle Sam process my Form 4 and it can come home. )
About the same time I began to read a bit about the 300 AAC Blackout round, thought why not so I acquired the following components

CMMG 16 inch Barrel w/Carbine length gas system. (gun show grab)
YHM M4 upper (new)
YHM Gas Block/filp sight (re-purposed)
YHM BCM + Bolt (new and properly staked)
YHM 7.62 QD Pantom Suppressor
Oly Multi Cal Lower (new)
DPMS LPK (new)
Military Buffer tube
Buffer (used 3 throughout the testing settled on a standard buffer with 1 weight removed)
Milspec carbine length buffer spring
My primary purpose for this is a "Hush Puppy" something that will stop mid sized game Pigs, Coyotes Nuisance Deer Quietly.
Using 220 Grain Remington Subsonic Ammo (rated at 1050) it required a little tuning to get the gas system right but dam it was worth it! (fortunately my dealer has a range behind his place)
This thing is as quiet as my 22 with a can on it with the added advantage of a 220 grain 30 cal projectile. Just a visual bore siting of the Nikon 2x7 prostaff on the bench and it was on steel at 150 yards. This thing is a HOOT to shoot the action cycling is louder than the muzzle on a dry can.
Here it is with the can on at the dealer
