Eric,

I have seen many cracked wood bottoms...my guess is that it cracks along the grain of the wood when the magazine is dropped...probably dropped empty...

This crack is also in an area where it hsa been drilled through for the retainer pin...so it may be a weaker spot as well.

If a fully-loaded magazine was dropped, I would think you would end up with more severe wood damage...
