That pic is so large, I lost my train of thought just going from one side to the other.



Okay on the right it looks like somebody plugged the muzzle and it made a nice banana peel, but what is that all over the carpet/floor/concrete on the left??

The smaller pics helped out a lot.......at first I thought somebodys finger was in the muzzle and that was blood on the floor .

Looks like a Browning long type flash hider, which if they are off by a little the projectile will hit it on its way downrange.......so maybe not plugged. Hope this happened at a range, and not in the garage!!!

Focus isn't so great, but it looks more like a Brit 3 slot or a Browning style long flash hider ????
What else was damaged besides the fh?

Ok guys - remember all the talk about the Match flash Hiders on G fals that peeled back .
This looks like the same only this looks like one of the US made comps ???
It's structual fatigue - not being plugged. Thats my guess.

Yes, the barrel does look good......but then again we can only see the pics!! Any chance it got a little loose on ya?? The flash hider I mean??

Only two reasons why she would let loose like that on ya. Either it got loose on the end of the barrel or the metal was crap and gave up on the pressures.

Being as you said it wasn't loose, I would have to go with the second one.

Have you grabbed whats left of the FH and tried to rotate it???

I hope the barrel is ok.
You'll need to have another permanently attached flashhider or brake installed again on that barrel to maintain it at over 16" to stay legal.
I'm not sure what flashhiders will do that for you. Except another one of the same type flashhiders again. About anything else will be too short I bet.
Unless you have something made up ?
Good luck.
