Duct tape the shop blow guns to both your calves with the triggers fully squeezed.... while the air is blowing proceed to moon walk while singing the lyrics to Michael Jackson's Billie Jean in front of the transformer

Not only will you

1) clean the transformer

2) get an awesome cardio work out

3) Impress the hell out of Jo and whoever is lucky enough to witness the smooth operator also know as the evil genius

D) and get back at that neighbor that cut the big area of woods down....... unassuming human eyes and minds will not be able to fathom the amount of awesome they are witnessing and their heads will explode

You're welcome

E) And please have Mark or Abigail video this.

I want to hook up this big Delta WYE isolation transformer for the shop.

Some of the little DMG machines want a neutral

(ghey)

And the knuckle dragging, mouth breathing, uncle kissing, butt pirate who disconnected it used a sawzall and dropped a ton of copper fines down into the windings.

I have attempted to vacuum them out

I'm considering now using compressed air to blow them out although that might just blow them in deeper and create a bigger problem.

Maybe I'm overthinking this. It's not like the windings don't have insulation on them.

Lick it what could go wrong

Those are rookie numbers mang. Gotta get those numbers up.

Glad his hand is fine. Honestly, that strikes me as weird, though. I wonder if the frame already had some sort of weakness or a crack. I've shot the 10mm Underwood loads a fair bit, including out of a M&P, and while they are definitely full power, it's hard to imagine them blowing up a gun.

Glad he is okay. FWIW that load is popular and lots of people shoot it through Glocks with no issues. Some put stronger springs or aftermarket barrels too.

I hope he sends it in to have them examine it.

I have blown up 2 handguns- both S&W revolvers and both with handloads from my brother. Since the last one I only shoot factory loads.

I guess my point was that it’s not a kaboomed Glock, but a kaboomed aftermarket barrel. Maybe out of spec in some way?
 
Explosion following path of least resistance sure seems like a diameter issue of some sort (barrel or bullet).
Yeah, seems like a reasonable presumption.

The G20s have had a history of exploding but I thought it was due to an original barrel. KKM solved some of that but the tolerance is less? Seems like a tighter tolerance would be an issue.
 

tldr: former underwood employee claims that underwood has been reverse engineering and ripping off certain buffalo bore ammo types for a long time.
