I had a Belgian FN49 in .30-06 that started doubling on me. Turned out the firing pin was broken. It would fire normally and then go full auto with the firing pin front section flopping back and forth under inertia. Scary. Thanks for sharing this.

Had one once (before semi autos got verboten here in Aust) came with bayonet & tool/parts kit .. a work of art itself) .. superb metallurgy and accuracy with low recoil plus the round is flat shooting with unsurpassed bc & sd ..better by far than an SLR /M14 / garand etc .. believe me I've shot them all .

I’m glad you and your friend are okay Thanks for sharing. Hope you can get that beautiful rifle back to functional condition

I don think its worth trying to get that fixed unfortunately. the rear of the receiver being bowed out like that is not going to be easy to get back into spec and i'd be worried about structural damage to the metal of the receiver and bolt too.

I am glad your friend and you are not hurt. I had one Egyptian FM49, they are known for this issue, (the firing pin being stuck forward). My firing pin was wedged forward and caused a premature detonation out of battery. When this happened to me the breach block flew out of the rifle and tore my right arm as it flipped past my head. I had all the PPE on too. Your receiver is bent and likely cannot be fixed, I hope it can be fixed. These rifles started out having a one pcs firing pin, then migrated to a two pcs fining pin for this reason. The FN 49 is a good heavy rifle, but the two-piece firing pin with the safety slot cutout is a must. Keep us posted on the rifle's repair.

Self loading Ammo 🤔

My rifle does not have a safety stop 🤯 I was told to never fire commercial ammo 😬 only mil spec ammo to avoid slam firing 🤔 I will have to look into changing my bolt and carrier

A bummer of an outcome! One every body can learn from tho! When purchasing a milsurp have it inspected by a professional gunsmith familiar with the gun before shooting. Glad everyone walked away in one piece!

My brother Pakistan ordnance Factory is amongst the top ones if you are a gun enthusiast then you know it that MP5 Germany is a failed one in comparison to POF made MP5

Nice

My sks has done that before get a 3 or 4 shot burst before it freed up.

What a shoddy rifle. Made in the USA!

Maybe you can find someone on KZfaq that could use it as a video to fix and get it done for free or cheaper since it’s a more unusual rifle

Thanks for the good information

I had a new AMT Hardballer that fired a double then the firing pin fell out. The screw in the adjustable rear sight was to long and protruded into the firing pin area, the pin would get stuck then when the gun picked up the next round it loosened up but the retaining piece fell out and the pin fell out, what a mess, I got rid of that as well, went back to a standard M1911A1.

I once bought a semi-auto .22 Magnum, took it out to the range, second round blew the gun, blew the magazine out spit powder and my hand tingled for a bit as the stock actually broke. It went back to the gun shop and I got a full refund. After that I insured that I thoroughly cleaned and lubed every rifle I purchased before firing it, I had taken this one from the gun shop to the country to pop off a few rounds.

😂😂😂❤❤

Such a beautiful weapon. Glad yall are both ok. looks like some pretty serious damage to the receiver.....hope its able to be saved. some of us learned something on this. Always wanted a 49 but didn't have the money...even when they ran less than 400. regrets.

Great video! I love this rifle! I want to know everything about it. Thanks.

Sorry for your rifle! Years ago I had a similar issue with my wife's Glock 17: I just put in another magazine, pressed the silde release and it went off without me even touching the trigger. The firing pin was stuck forward because of brass shavings blocking it. This particular Glock has been producing al lot of brass shavings from the beginning when we bought it new. Fortunately, no damage occured besides a hole in the floor of the indoor range some meters in front of me.

Glad your ok man!

It didn't blow up ! The bolt hit the primer on the second cartridge while attempting to push it out of the magazine.

2:05 That look like 2 rounds was been fire. Out of battery fire on the second round.

I’m almost wondering if your firing pin spring may have been weak. This may have allowed the pin to move forward under inertia when the bolt lost velocity while stripping the next cartridge.

I am glad you and your partner were not seriously injured. In the past, whenever a new firearm came into my possession (new or used) I always broke it down, cleaned and examined all functioning parts, confirmed safety features worked properly, then did a primer only function test. A good swabbing of the bore ensured no grease or contaminants then single shot with live ammo. I have always worn safety glasses, even when shooting a .22 rimfire. Thank you for sharing this video.

In handguns its called primer drag ...But it shows the same on some rifles ..its definitely showing that .. SKS rifles also suffer from this firing pin issue more ..that gun now most likes unsafe without some modifications to beef up the spots that bowed out ..

Only gun smith that i know thst can fix it, is mark novak, he has a you tube channel.

Old guns and old cars are awesome. They’ve got that cool retro feel, and they’re not too hard to figure out beneath the hood!

i read the comments about the firing pin safety and for all i know thats right. what i see is, slowed way down, the fired case is barely out when the next exploded and it is not anywhere close to the chamber. im saying the projectile may have been in the chamber but none of the case was. the first round is only maybe an inch away from the bolt on its way out. the bolt has just begun to move forward so like you say, the primer was out and struck the case then the primer.

Glad this wasnt as bad as kentucky balistics

click bait sadge

Thanks. RTI is known for cheap rough condition guns. At least that is my impression. But as you say, advertising this as "completely refurbished" with that nasty bore and the rough bolt carrier group.... unacceptable.

I got a rifle this week from rti poorest packing job I've ever seen

Man, Bless Jesus you and your shooter friend are OK. Sometimes it is cheaper to just move on. Get another copy and use what’s left for parts. Fine and informative vid. Thanks

Quanto dolore avrà causato. Comunque bella arma

Thanks .........

Bro, you got to learn how to take your weapon apart. Whether you like it or not. They're not as hard as you think they are. You'll go bankrupt taking it to a gun. Smith and good luck finding one a good 1. Sometimes, you have no choice.😅

Refinished=rattle can black paint. At least that's how it looks to me.

On an adjustable gas system, you don’t adjust gas to the carrier by direction or distance of ejected case. Follow the factory manufacturers instructions. Start with higher gas bleed off, single load, check for bolt hold open. If not bolt held back with bolt hold open latch, reduce gas bleed off til it does

RTI are not reputable dealers. I was shipped a Carcano with a broken stock. They denied everything, so I found a replacement stock elsewhere.

Was wondering what ammo u were using.?? I just got my hands on an AG-42B, I put some S&B 140 FMJ through the Rifle, and had issues with it cycling, felt like I was getting Hot and Light loads with the S&B. Thanks for the Vid, I enjoyed it.

Repair my azz not just get a different firearm!

Is it just me or does this work similar to the sks, i see lots of similarities

I have a century arms Egyptian fn49, I believe the issues like this are solely the non refurbished Egyptians.

Hate to tell you this, But that gun is probably dead. I doubt it would be worth what it cost to fix it, unless a gunsmith was willing to hammer the back of the receiver to try to bend it back. And even then, it wouldn't be as strong, and might be out of shape. Hopefully , it can be fixed, though.

Did that headstamp say 7*57 ? if so, wouldn't that be 7mm Mauser ? I thought these were 8mm. Hard to see in the video

You most likely had an out of battery because your chamber clearance was right. You needed to no go and go gage it. It doesn’t look like the bolt was the issue but your casing bing a couple thou outta place.

Очередями стреляет или просто аналог СВТ40?

the magazine reminds me of a pez dispenser

i would not shoot it ever again
