Quoted: Unless you see light through it, it's not a crack. Most of my D&H black T mags appear as though they might have a crack but it's just on the surface. I assume from the "molding" process or something.

I do not see light through it. It looks like a stress crack on one side like the kind you get in metal when you bend it back and forth a few times. It is only on one lip of the four.
I have a few other D&H mags from the same company and none of the rest of them have it. I also have the real Colt mags that came with my rifle and they don't have it either. It is holding and I would not mind using it at a range but I would not count on it for anything serious. It looks like if it were bent and straightened one more time it could crack off. I won't bend it so that seems unlikely but I am more concerned that it could crack if the mag hits the floor which could happen.
Not a big deal because as I said the other mags I have gotten from them are the best I have seen and RustyTX has offered to take it back and send me a new one if I want. I don't think I will as it is just one mag that only cost $10 and it would be a few bucks to send it back and then it would cost him a few more bucks to send me another new one back so it would seem like we are just making UPS rich for one stinking mag. I guess it bothered me because I only order 2 and one was bad. If I ordered 20 and one was bad it would be no big deal.
I did pay $13.95 for them though and now they are going for $10.95 ,but he did say he would credit me the difference. So rather than both of us wasting money money on shipping sending it back and forth, and since he is going to credit me the $6 anyway, I just sent him an email asking him to just send me 2 more and I'll pay the difference which is like $16 more.
If I thought they were no good I would not want 2 more. I would just want to send them back. Like I said these guys deal in thousands of magazines so you are bound to have one or two bad ones now and again. I am just always the lucky guy that gets them
just my luck I guess.
