Receiver Scratch or Crack

[liljughead34]

Thanks guys for all the good information, definitely going to pass. Painter777, I can tell the cartouche is faked cause it seems to be a different font but how can you tell the safety is faked? Seen some of your other posts spotting “reproductions” so just trying to learn what I can, you should write a book how how to spot fake parts lol. Unfortunately fake parts seem to be a problem.

The marks we discussed must have been scratching like many of you thought.
Just following up because I said I would.

Looking at the picture, i think it's a scratch

It's a pretty straight line for a crack. Most cracks aren't as linear nor as as straight, and as a retired machinist I can say it's not that hard to put a gouge in your work.
