It looks like the top of the top barrel blew out, wood behind action came off and I think forearm broke also. It's hard to imagine you could overload a reload enough to cause this kind of damage. This ain't a dress rehearsal , Don't Let the Old Man IN

The seller shared that the barrels had been 'tuned', but not that the MWT at the burst was .012" If it looks like this, with a ring bulge, it was an obstruction The original Armas Kemen ceased operations about 2017, but returned about 2023. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home
