I have read all the warnings on shooting LN receivers. I understand that the receiver may handle a pressure round, but it is the way the receiver handles a case head separation or other cartridge related problem that will cause a KaBoom.
The question I am wondering is if the Krags were heat treated the same way, why do we not hear about Krag receivers blowing up or shattering when hit with a hammer. Wouldn't a case head separation blow them up.
Inquiring minds want to know.
