That's a very interesting link. Some amazing 'reconstructive surgery' there..
Thanks for posting it Drew.
Back to the original post, I'd guess any Boxlock with oil damage at the head could potentially split or crack. Another good reason to use oil sparingly and store guns muzzle down. I'm still surprised by the number of people who will spray WD 40 (a water displacing rust preventer and lubricant) on their guns, give them a quick wipe and put them in the cabinet muzzle up.
The upside is it'll keep stockers in business for years to come, very probably barrel blackers and browners too.
