Letting the science do the talking, those “striations” could be simply the result of lateral stretching of the metal.

Dan, can you or any witness say if the break at the wrist of the stock happened at the instant of the barrel rupture, or was it the result of the gun being dropped or flung from your hands?

I can't say for sure Dave. I've discussed it with the guys I was with because I was a bit dissapointed I didn't lay the gun down instead of just droppping it. There is a pretty good sized mark on the top of the heal that indicates it hit the concrete there and if so it's likely it would have broken the stock.
