The rest of the box was checked and there were 7 with split necks.

Watch those carbon rods dont fracture when using them, mate had slivers of carbon peeled by the barrel and enter the bad of his hand, really bad infection and doc cut and pulled out some large pieces, they cant get it all and it doesnt show up on X rays
