This report on the LUF regarding failure of the base of an M8 is perhaps 
of some concern:

I am not a metallurgist nor do I play one on tv.  I have no idea if this 
is a rare event or something to fret over.

I looked at my own base and it looks fine (solid, it appears) but what 
do I know?

<sigh>
