    Catastrophic Failure

    As the heading states, while attempting to break-in a new custom made tactical bolt action rifle, I experienced a malfunction that unfortunately sent me to the hospital and the eye doctor. To be fair and as impartial as possible, I do not want to mention the company’s name at this time...
