Two definite trains of thought on these rifles are...
1, all the guns that were going to blow up did and it's a non issue...
2, low numbers aren't safe and are waiting patiently to fracture.
Thing is, if it breaks...it doesn't slowly crack or give you a warning. It shatters like glass. Pics are available...I personally wouldn't shoot one that early, and nothing in clear conscience below about 8XX XXX...opinions may vary...
By the way, welcome to the neighborhood...
