[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1210121, member: 50867"] You didn't mention whether or not the crack is visible on top of the action. Metal doesn't crack on one side without producing evidence of the crack on the other side. To be certain what it is that you're working with (even though it certainly does appear to be a crack) I'd try a magnaflux test on the other side of the action to see what that reveals. IMO, if it is cracked, it would have to be a factory defect or an over length scope screw struck by the bolt (unlikely but worthy of listing as a consideration cuz if you're the second owner there's no telling who took a hammer to the action) Looks like somebody has pounded around the area of the trigger pin holes with a screwdriver as is.
