Mr. Yeatts as I have recently have had a handgun blow up on me. I send my deepest sympathies and hope that you are ok. This is the first evidence I have seen of damascus barrels blowing up. I can not see the crack that you are talking about. I would get these barrels to a metallurgist to examine the failure. There was a large amount of plastic deformation before failure which is good and it does not appear that there was any failure along the welds.
