I apologize for bringing this up again. I think you could salvage some good out of this discouraging turn of events. There have been several threads on here about minimum wall thicknesses. The wall thickness may have been the culprit. I understand the bulge had been repaired but I think we could know more if the wall thickness in the area of the split was 0.120" or 0.050". Since the split is at the end of the chamber I think that could be very informative.

The good being salvaged is of course more knowledge for the gun collectors here.

Best,

Mike
