Kaj,

I would call that a significant crack. I also see a flat spot on the recoil spring lever from the firing pin housing slamming into it on full recoil. This suggests a weak recoil spring or the use of ammo that is too hot. I would guess that it would be better to replace the toggle link than to repair it. I would examine the gun carefully for other damage, especially the breech block. KFS
