Exactly how much muscle went into this? You'd know if you had to put your body weight into cranking on this thing.

It may be GTG but I wouldn't trust it until I had it thoroughly checked out by a competent gunsmith. Preferably one who specializes in ARs.
I'm curious what clamp / vice you were using. I just ordered one of these. I'll let you know how it works.
Well, how about that. Glad that's solved and worked out for you. I'm sure Colt knows what they are talking about. So good to go.
There is a term for similar-metal seperation (aluminum alloy to aluminum oxide (anodizing is just dyed (edit: and sometimes not dyed) controlled aluminum oxidization for the most part)) that I learned in a metallurgy class once. Forget what it is, but I do remember that it had a wierd name that back ally came down to "chipped". It was like a single blurb, during pages of info about dissimilar metal deformation - that's the sexy one anyone cares about.
Color it black and call it a lesson
Blackrifle above me is correct, those G rods are THE SHIT!

Anodizing can be done without any dye (Class 1). Without the dye, the aluminum would be a dull grey

Another vote for Geissele reaction Rod, great addition to the tool box, I am surprised Noodles shipped mine back to me a year agoMine has come in handy many times and paid its value after one usage. I picked one up when they were still 69.99. IMO no AR tool box is complete without one. I have changed out rails, assembled uppers, gas block work etc. You will not regret it.
OP has contacted the manufacturer, who let him know the carbine was safe to operate.
Since we now know there will be no giant conflagration and ensuing loss of life, let's put this one to bed, shall we?
Good night, everyone.
