No, and since then the gun has been sold. I didn`t want to sue anyone, I believe there is a rediculous amount of that going on. Besides, the $52,000 medical bill (including helicopter medi-vac), was picked up by my union`s excellent insurance,and I have no distinguishable damage,(besides huge scars). So I figured it was due to my negligence, and I lived,(luckily) and learned. By the way, it was my handload of a Hornady 250 grn XTP, over a max charge of Win 296. My xray, to this day, looks like a lit Christmas tree, with all the fragments of debris (copper?) in me. Nothing to brag about, in fact, it`s emarassing. I just wanted to share my experience with all of you, so it doesn`t happen to someone else.
