Yea, other than my ego being wounded and my wallet being pillaged, I survived intact.Hope you're OK. I watched this happen a few years ago, Fellow brought the wrong pre-loaded magazines with him. He only needed minor first aid, but his friends were pretty freaked out by it.
PSA had some very low-priced 300BLK uppers a few weeks ago. Haven't been there in a while.Yea, other than my ego being wounded and my wallet being pillaged, I survived intact.
I thought I had put the 300 upper on, but figured out my mistake pretty quick.
The only good news is that I salvaged the lower and I now have space in my gun safe, for a new carbine.
I'm okay. I'll call this upper, my Darwin Award. hopefully this will be my worst and hopefully my last mistake on the range.I would define that as a risky load hope all fingers are accounted for.
Gloves for firing risky loads or firearms.
Does anybody here wear kevlar gloves or something simliar when firing a risky firearm or load for the first time or everytime? What about something like these...www.northwestfirearms.com
I've got to go through all my records and equipment, but I thought this was a 300 upper I had bought from PSA. This upper had no designations on it showing what caliber it was.PSA had some very low-priced 300BLK uppers a few weeks ago. Haven't been there in a while.
Yep, although I wouldn't reccoment it, it is possible to fire a 300 Black Out round, in an upper designed for .223.

I have AR's in a few different calibers. I just don't allow them on the same bench at the same time. I always double check them - once when I uncase them and once more before we commence firing. I hope I won't regret saying this, but it's worked for me for years now.No injuries, so now we can joke about it. BUT: We've read several comments on this forum from guys who like to have as many different caliber uppers for one lower as they can get. It's just another way mistakes can be made, caution is advised.
I think they need a new .223 upper as well..PSA had some very low-priced 300BLK uppers a few weeks ago. Haven't been there in a while.
I've run 9mm down a 10mm. FTE, no visible damage nor change in function or accuracy. If you're going to screw up, that's the way to do it!I doubt it will make you feel better, but about 10/12 years ago I ran a 308 through a CZ550 Premium chambered
in 270. At the range and I had the previous 308 box of ammo still on the bench, picked up the 270 and ammo and
went to shooting, 'cept I loaded a 308 into the 270. It survived. My ego did not. Made me a CZ believer.
380 works in 9mm barrel but I wouldn't want to reuse the brass.I've run 9mm down a 10mm. FTE, no visible damage nor change in function or accuracy. If you're going to screw up, that's the way to do it!
