    So what the question is what happened to the case ? . Because it all seems to point to what Gundoc has said with maybe some sort of case failure / maybe oversized / oil on case / something which contributed as a catalyst . With age cracking just behind the bolt ?????.
    So is there any pictures of the case ? .
    And what about pics of the first (penultimate!) case fired? Any clues from that?
