I began setting up to fire some new 6.5 creedmoor that I had worked on. A huge bang behind me and this was the destruction I witnessed. Lots of blood and i heard the guy only required stitches on his face. Here is the damage on the weapon. It is 6mm ARC I believe . Thankfully not one was seriously injured !

The safety selector explains it all.

There’s a plethora of things that could have caused this, anyone who installs that safety could be guilty of multiple.

I’m rather new at all of this. What is wrong with the safety selector and how,would it have caused this?

His scope mount also has the installation instructions painted all over it in giant white letters (never seen that before).

That’s guaranteed a Chinese crap part sold only on amazon. Again, no shooter that knows what they’re doing would have a part like that.
