I have come across a few other forend iron which cracked after Color casing. The issue is they were probably either not annealed prior to re case hardening or they were brought up to too high a temperature. I also had a forend latch break in half when I was making a new forend and carefully tapped the latch in to the wood with a rawhide mallet.
