Hi to all i just want to tell what happened to me when i shot my Rough Rider . First three shots hit the target the fourth shot cracked the barrell ,so i called Heritage several times an they told me i would have to pay for a new barrell ,I am lucky i didnt get hurt but they dont care . I had to buy a new barrell. All reviews i read were great thats why i bought the gun .If you email me i can send you pics bassdawgbill@comcast.net

I would love to see your pics & I can't believe that Heritage-- Soon to be my bottom of the barrel ,crummiest go to guy for guns would not cover the cost for replacing your barrel. What caliber is the gun, I know they make a 22/22mag & a 45 LC

I tried to zoom your photos. Got to Imageshack. Imageshack started something weird on my computer. Most use Photobucket to upload images.

Is it split near the muzzle?

Thats the same thing it did to me.

Having received & printed out your photos, I can only think of one reason why a gun barrel would split like this & that is a Squib Load. Since 22 rimfire is not a caliber you can feasibly load yourself, do you know what ammo you were shooting when this happened? I would guess the ammo manufacturer is actually responsible for the damage that has occurred.
