« on: December 15, 2007, 04:30:03 PM »
My nephews 243 Youth Model NEF  Crackbarrel breaks open when fired did this approx. 6 out of 12 rounds fired. Any body had this problem and or know how to fix.

Approx a total of 25 rounds or less has been fired since bought new approx 2 years ago this Christmas.  All replies appreciated in advance.

Please read the Handi Basics 101 and the Pop Open medicine in the FAQs.

It's not poping open when it's shot, it opens after the bullet leaves the barrel, if it opened at the shot, the chamber pressure would push the empty case thru the shooter head!!  :o

Is it an ejector barrel??

Maybe the brass did hit him in the head when it popped open.


Whatever it was. It's an easy fix!!

Good luck with it.
