Phil is referring to a post by Rastoff that seems to have disappeared... He had a receiver crack where the receiver extension screws in.

Yes, I'm curious about the manufacturer.

It almost looks like it cracked at a seam...

Mushy trigger means stop somethings wrong it's not the norm but let's push it anyway. Safety first.

Kinda does. It would be interesting to know who manufactured the lower. Rastoff?

Virtually every kaboom I'm aware of was caused by handloads, and the biggest share of them were gun show handloads. Never shoot someone elses handloads. Develop your own procedures to guard against any possibilities that you may create your own defective ammunition.

I've loaded well over 100K cartridges since 1974 and have never even blown a primer. Handloads do not need to be a hazard.

I never buy gun show ammo (seen and heard too many horror stories). I've also been reloading since the early 70's and never had any problems with my own loads.
