Why would it fail?
Possibly: -imperfections(inclusions) in the steel, not visible from the outside - stress crack from forging, too small to see until it "grows" with use - abuse(heavy/hot loads or many thousands of rounds fired". Most cracks originate from sharp (square) inside corners, where firing stresses can be concentrated.
