Hera comes the promised pictures.
It was laying in the scrapbox at the gunsmiths, I took some quick pictures with my cellphone...
The RB is a m/1867 swede modified 1889 to 8x58RD, as you can see the hole for the sliding extractor has been plugged, you can also see the new hole for the c-shaped new extractor.
This one have been rebarreled and chambered for .458"x1,5"
The steel is hardened straight through, and brittle...
I know nothing about the load used in this one, just want to show what can happen, and according to the NORMA guy, there will be no warningsigns before it goes into pieces...
Cant se how this would happen with blackpowder??
Take care and load with common sense!
