I have seen this one time in my 35 years of reenacting. It was an Indian-made gun but it had several blank loads in it. I was told the barrel had a seam but I did not personally see that. There is a gunsmith in Arkansas, the Myzzleloading Shop that deals extensively with these guns and he is very confident in them and actually proofs them as well.Exactly right,
I have been shooting and reenacting for over 35 years, in that time i have seen 1 blown ML barrel and that was a shotgun that had a mud plug in the end of the barrel, from the owner falling in the swamp and not checking the barrel before shooting.
I read all this about India and pakestan made guns.I have not ever seen one. I have seen the ads and web sites but how long have they been on the market? I have handled replicas made in india but they were wall hangers with cheap cast parts, some of them looked very nice but I would never even consider shooting them. Maybe the real problem is people who have no clue what a real gun looks like are buying these cheap replicas and thinking they can shoot them. I would have to call on all experienced shooters and reennactors to set these people straight. If you see a potential junker out there inspect the gun and if its junk dont let it be around the rest of the shooters. The only way to police this problem is to act. I for one would not let anyone shoot a wall hanger around me.
