And we were talking about guns and firing ranges that day

have a machinist make one out of stainless steel 416R material  will fix the barrle,  great wearability and rain proof too 

just have it a little more meat on the barrle will help with the over charged casings and raise the rear sight craddle for the bigger Dia of barrle.  In picture looks if is about .250 thick for the outside fluting of barrle weakend it, best make it fin like with round cutter tip, not a long grove more cooling and strenght of barrle.

i was just gonna say , I think some refilled their shell with just a little too much powder. Had a buddy from Tp clan  back in the day reload his own shells for his 357 magnum pistol  and almost killed him self for over charging it and blew the barrel up. Lucky he didn't kill himself.

How does that even happen?

[KaptCrunch]

the forces of energy on a material   if failed  and more meat & heat treating to align the grains that helps the material to flex a bit an not crack.

yes when go outside of the required fill  need to test fire it in a vise and a pull string to protect shelf. also would up the chamber strength too with AISI S7 heat treat.
