Shooting one of my favorite guns last night, a Timberwolf lower with a Gen3 Glock upper on it, and suddenly it wouldn't cycle. Was actually shooting in the dark, using the headlights of the truck to illuminate the targets, (more or less). So, I dropped the mag, went to rack the slide and it felt... weird. Went back to the truck so I could see it in the headlight and when I field stripped it I couldn't believe what I saw. Pictures are attached, the rear frame rails are simply gone. The rails are part of the frame - it can't be repaired.
I sent an email to LoneWolf's customer service last night with the same pictures attached, I'm interested in their response. I'm kind of in a quandary here. That's one of my favorite guns, but damn. I've never seen or heard of that kind of failure before. I'd understand it, maybe, if I were running super hot loads and weak springs, but I'm not. This is a gun that I carry almost daily and that I use for competition.
Stripped the frame, cleaned it and took another picture:
