Just a shot in the dark here, but I'm guessing he cleared the gun before he did these tests

I won't watch them either for the same reasons. These kind of things remind me of teenage boys enjoying watching stupid videos of guys getting hit in the nuts with skateboards and that kind of thing.
In Vietnam, condoms were used, same results. I occasionally get snow in my shotgun barrels and after blowing most of it out there's no way to get it all out while in the field, so now I wonder if I shouldn't do the same even though I don't think it would have any measurable effect on the shot pattern. I could always tell people I was testing them for durability.
I am with you on that. Guys blowing up good gun just for the show are in the same category. The worse is people believe what those clowns says in those videos.

I agree no ones out there pile driving there guns into the concrete but as a gunsmith of 53 years I’d say it’s safe to assume you’ve repaired a few crowns in your day? God knows how many ignorant, box of shells last a decade type guys ding a crown and go on like nothing wrong, not saying this video will be there path to enlightenment either. I wonder what MDT’s chassis vs YouTube revenues looks like?
Well, I feel that I've learned what damage to the crown or a rifle will do and how such damage could be fixed- even though it would probably cost at least as much as a .22 does in the first place. Practically speaking, given that they're almost always recessed I believe that such damage mostly happens from excessive cleaning using bad equipment, and on older firearms.
