Edited quote from BrentD

Quote:
I also do not think chamber lengthening was involved either. That chamber blew too far back, and was too thin from the day it rolled out the door. The solder behind it does not look too well done either, so if there was a bit of void in places, that would be a spot where pressures would work the steel, perhaps creating a crack where the darkened area of the break is. From there some corrosion or just more time and fatigue and eventually, it had to let go.



Think you hit the nail on the head, why ream out a chamber, also just looking, but the tear appears to be angled, I would be surprised if when measured the walls are as thin as they look!
