At least he was well enough to bring it in.

I would think that a crack that would lead to such a failure would have been visible even to a novice, so I'm thinking maybe it was more than just 17 rounds. Has anyone kept up to see if GSG has other failures reported on this gun? The AR15 GSG forum used to be a great source on the rifles, but I haven't been there recently. I assume the pistols are discussed as well though. If this is a one off occurrence, I would think ATI would fix it asap -- again, assuming it wasn't dropped.
So, are they legal, or are they not? I am assuming that has to do with the melting point. Is AT92F the same type of gun, a light alloy .22 lookalike? If it is, it would have the same legality as the original 1911.1000 wrote:Update: On 9-20-2010 I posted .jpg of a ATI 1911 .22 cal firearm that blew up. Our customer came in with the firearm to show us. I called ATI and my wholesale representatives to see what could be done to help my customer out. I told A.T.I. That we should take care of our customer right away to keep him happy so the we could avoid any legal actions from him.( My customer was really nice about the whole thing and didn't say I'm going to sued you and A.T.I., because Metal fragments hit me in the face.) At first ATI was very heplful in the first 2 hours of calling them. They said they would send out a UPS pick up tag and shipp a new firearm out a.s.a.p.. A.T.I called my customer up the same day and was really nice to him and told him everything would be taken care of. However the next day I got a call form A.T.I. Representative saying that they would not shipp a replacement firearm out and the only thing they would to is to give me a credit for the firearm and said that this firearm was not legal in Minnesota, I ask if A.T.I. if they could send a AT92F 15RD 4.3" BL FS to keep the customer happy, A.T.I. said NO. So my next step was to call my customer up and tell him that my wholesale rep. from Ellett Brothers and I would give him a MKIII SS Ruger for him trouble. He was really happy with this. The long and short of this is that A.T.I. Customer service SUCK'S.
