The other day I was at the range and we were shooting a 240B. One of the guys giving the class said he had a buffer go bad on a 240 on time and it blew out the back sides of the receiver and pretty much trashed it. I've also heard stories of M2 .50 cals blowing up because the head space and timing were off.
So here comes the questions........
Since the MG registry has been closed for over 20 yrs, what would someone do if they had a catastrophic failure on one of their MGs? Say the receiver was trashed, because the receiver is what is considered the weapon. Is 30,000 dollars worth of metal just garbage now, or can a new receiver be made to replace the old one with the same serial numbers? Anyone have any stories or any knowledge of this? Im just curious what happens, does the ATF confiscate destroyed receiver and melt it down or what?
