Anyone seen these types of marking on a brand new USP? Gun counter guy said it could possibly be a manufacturer defect from the frame being pressed together. I’m not worried about it but wondering what it could possibly be from. This is a brand new USP45T. Everything else about it is awesome. Totally love it so far.
None of my HK's have those marks. Usually the frame pressing process creates a flashing line, but that is about it. If everything else looks ok, I would just carry on.
Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison....

Good responses all and agreed. Someone out there is a dipshit. Fortunately the marks cleaned up okay with just my own fingernail, and I plan to use red loctite when in install the GG&G. Any good reason to not do this?

Use blue loctite. It’s plenty strong for your application.
Also those marks wouldn’t worry me it’s an HK, not a safe queen.

I recommend BLUE LocTite. You may want to remove it some day, and adding 500F heat to a polymer frame is ... not such a great idea.
I used blue, but red would probably not need too much heat on these tiny screws. Just hold the soldering tip to the screw head a second or two. Don’t need the MAP torch for everything.
