Colonel...you have a lot more patience than I. Looking at the Impulse cutaway video...If by 'the casing' you are referring to an annular ring in the receiver that the balls engage...wild horses couldn't get me to pull the trigger. When I think of cracks, I think of brittleness. Is there a worse result in steel hardening than brittleness?


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
