FYI
Was once offered a .30, 1923 Safe/Loaded, that had a piece broken off the rear of the breechblock Metal appeared to be crystalized. Barely enough metal left to loosely secure the firing pin retainer. Dont remember the serial #.

Yes, this sounds like a heat treatment problem.
I wonder just what the guy shot through the pistol to make the recoil slap strong enough to destroy the rear end of the breach block?
