As far as the barrel being original it has matching serial numbers to the rest of the gun so it appears to be. Weird if someone used it to pry something open! And if it did have a locking block failure it isn't showing any other damage on the other parts.

Like I said in my first post I've already put 500 rounds through it with almost no issue. Of course if those are cracks (or probably even if they are not) I wont be firing it again!
