Saw this A1 online for sale. Does the receiver appear to be cracked? If that was a bone on an xray I'd call that a nondisplaced fracture.

Here's a different AUG A1. I suspect it's just from the casting.

I think you are correct that it is a casting mark.  I just checked a 901SAxx and it had the exact same seam.

The condition of he rifle does not "match" that kind of damage unless the oddest of mishaps.
Please keep the team updated.  I'm interested.

It’s 99% a forging flash even if mine does not have it.

Mine it’s a 914SAxxx series so the forging used is probably different.
