Dave, it's bending more than cracking that worries me. Just look at the metal where the action bars slide into the receiver...the sheet metal on my old Ford Pinto was thicker. I don't know if Remington has always milled a flat on the top of the receiver on Police models: prettier for sure, but look at how thin the metal gets where the barrel joins the receiver...just to get a pretty flat in there...
Don't get me wrong, I love my old Express like I would a homely child, I am disappointed in my new Police...maybe I am just going through an anti-Remington phase for the reasons we all have discussed on other threads.
