Probably not 50% of my failures personally, but I've not seized that many myself either!

I have seen more than a couple that were not only more than happy to go again after a seize, but also look just as good as they were pre-seize once cleaned up. I'm not making it up you know!

What can save a barrel is catching the clutch extremely quickly. What does trash them are parts of rings, ring locating pegs, circlips, and broken bearings bouncing around in the combustion chamber.

You'd be surprised what can be reclaimed. You may even have a couple barrels yourself that would clean up.
