If torque is being applied to the pivot pin and take down pin lugs laterally, they can crack. It even happened to a large frame .308 in the TD pin lug. The gun went full auto while a chick was shooting it her first time, then shotgunned during firing. The company blamed the owner, who didn't even own tools to work on it, and had sent it to them for repair after initial issues. The rear lug was cracked.
I know several builders that use the inserts with cross pins and have no issues, but then all of a sudden, one will crack if someone else gets on their tools and uses them.
