I was over on 24 hour campfire and someone mentioned that there had, somewhat recently, been a couple of Browning rifle barrel blowups. Anybody heard anything about it? True/false , old news/recent?

It was probably Tikka, not Browning. Go here:

I'm pretty sure it was titka, they had a recall out on some of there guns, and my friend had one of the guns that blew up. Titka replaced his gun and scope for free, thats the least they could have done if you ask me.

Blow up a 55 gallon drum full of sand. A M2 Neavy Barrell,, Ma Deuce, It did tear up that drum,, the machine gun was still functional.. There is a down side.. Lugging that thing to the track park..
