...And starting now I'll never shoot smokeless through my Trapdoor again!
Guns and accessories - shooting, collecting, photography, restoration, building, low-budget fabrication and other odd/unusual gun projects and 3d printing. Also antique collecting, treasure hunting, and metal detecting. Some content formerly featured on another website, but I wanted to focus less on politics, militia, and survivalism (not that I have anything against those topics).

Video - Springfield Trapdoor backfire
I thought this should get more attention from Trapdoor owners out there, like me, who reload. You can see the breachblock fly open and the spent casing jump out. Not quite as catastrophic as a real 'kaboom,' but I always imagined the shell would go flying backwards like a rocket in such a scenario. Since the video poster didn't respond to comments I can only guess that he was shooting smokeless rounds reloaded hot.
