A problem similar to this happened with a local guy a few years ago, only it happened to him in his garage. He used the stripper clip to load, then pulled back the bolt and let it go, bbbrrrrrpppp, right across the floor, wall and roof of his garage. Lucky nobody got hurt.
Our local gunsmith looked at it, (the guy had just bought it, and never shot it), the firing pin was sticking out, and the channel was just gunked up with cosmoline and grit, forcing it out.
There are a lot of safety lessons to be learned from this episode.
