I don't know what it is, but I know that it is quite common (particularly on teflon mags). I've always been able to scrape it off easily with my fingernail.

If it looks like it is stuck in the cracks then it is most likely teflon from when they made the mags. It kinda looks like if you waxed your car and left wax in a crack and it dried. I bought ten mags from a vendor here and actually called him about it when I noticed a lot of white crud in some of the joints.
It won't harm the mag, it is a cosmetic defect, fingernail is the correct removal tool.... |

Could be some aluminum oxidation, which is white.

Teflon mags are coated with Teflon in and out of the mag. The spring and follower over time will eat into the finish and leave bare aluminum. The bare aluminum will oxidate over time and that's probably what you are seeing. That's why military likes Dry lube. It looks like crap but it works well.

More likely residue from the wash after the coating process.
D&H's Teflon coated mags are hard coat anodized aluminum like most other mags then overcoated. The outer Teflon finish just holds up better... Can't say I've seen one into the bare aluminum from use. |
