While I was picking up a firearm I had shipped to the range I asked about the ban and looked at the display of the revolver that was destroyed. There were also two semi-auto pistol barrels displayed along with the ammo and the boxes. It was all Aluminum cased ammo in calibers .38 Spcl, 9mm Luger and .45 ACP. The revolver was a Rossi which had the top strap broken and the cylinder was in pieces. The semi barrels were both bulged. The young man didn't know the circumstances of any of the incidents. I only remembered the revolver and I thought it was brass cased ammo.
I'm going to go back when the owner is there to ask what happened. I know the owner is very familiar with firearms; his father, who I knew when I was selling guns, had a business for years dating from the early 60's, so I would think he good cause for banning Blazer.

It's easy to separate steel cases with a magnet to resell the brass. Sorting aluminum cuts into their profit margin.
