Had this accident a couple of days back.

A friend was using my shotgun during a duck shoot. Left barrel burst around middle. Thanks God no one hurt.

The gun is DBBL 12 Bore boxlock by Ward & Sons, 32 inch barrels, 2 3/4 chambers. Barrels are fluid steel and were in good condition.

The most apparent reason seems that a wad got stuck in barrel and the guy loaded and fired next shell in that barrel.

Will try to post photos in a couple of days.

Please comment.
