Or a forging flaw from colt. It's an older c7 colt upper. Should I be concerned ?
Here's some better pics

Too small, can't tell much. But that would be a very odd place to get a crack (low stress)
Edit: looks like a scratch on the forging (pre-finish) to me. |

Oddly shaped to be a crack. Best bet it is a finish imperfection. You can always do the poor man's magnaflux. Soak with oil and sprinkle fine flour around the suspected crack. Wipe off excess flour and the part will retain flour in the cracked area. Check to see if it goes completely through the part. You'll have to oil and flour both sides. Messy, yes. But cheap and pretty reliable.

I got one that is cracked in that area, all the way through from side to side.
I'll post pics when I get home. I bought it off EE for 10$. |

Then deep fry at 350 for 45min. Goes good with hush puppies.
