Doing a cleaning today and found this
http://i55.tinypic.com/2u7ls48.jpg I think I have probably less than 25 rounds through this thing. Supposedly this is a new 1911 (Springfield Compact). Crack is fairly shallow, but I'm assuming it needs replacement right away. What caused this sort of problem? |

Contact SA and get the to make right this being a new gun. In any case, i don't how a imperfection like that is gonna cause problems regarding operation os the gun. Still...MORE PICS!!! |

I don't think it's a crack, but a little residual metal from the machining process. Looks like this to me too. Like when the barrel lugs were machined..a small stand-up sliver was left upright..and has been smashed down to now match the barrel's circumference.....I bet you could probe it with a screwdriver and break it off the barrel. |
