#### i can't believe i didn't spot it ... my machinist coworker spotted it right away.
every single one of those guns is going to crack on the back end, maybe not in the first mag maybe not in 10 mags... but they will.
You can't have square corners and squared edges on a major stress part. Metallurgy 101
If you don't have radiused corners and chamfered edges it will crack every time.
if the load on the corner is not dispersed over a curve it will put all the stress applied to the part at the very corner... which is also the weakest point. Its the same reason you need to chamfer a hole before you put a bolt in... or at least use a proper sized washer (the bolt head has a chamfer edges so your head doesn't crack off and if the edge of the hole is not beveled/chamfered that curve sits on the straight corner of the hole and causes cracking)
this is the one that cracks... and it cracks right out of the perfectly square corner.
the first one that cracked, cracked dead center (thinnest part) from a straight corner edge as well
you could prvent these from cracking buy draw filing the edges ever so slightly, and taking a small round file into those corners.
