The little "Prototype" that wasn't

Anna,

My guess would be that when "they" turned the barrel flange down--relieved it forward, actually--and extended the threading, they didn't reduce the diameter enough, and forcing into the receiver cracked it. Definitely unsafe to shoot, simply on the basis of the 9mm caliber and weak recoil spring.

Still curious to know about the toggle lock and possible frame battering.
