Like Ted I have seen this before as well. I once bought a Mauser 1936. I didn't notice the cracks untill I got it home in good light but the toggle, breechblock and the cannon rails were fractured with very fine line cracks. I thought as I do now that it had something to do with improper metallurgy.
