Looks like a MIM part to me.
Even an investment cast part would not snap off like that.
It's part of the transfer system but, it's not under That Much stress.
I'm calling it a defective Metal Injected Molded part.
Why does that not surprise me?
Oh....when will they ever learn?

There is a line that gun makers should never cross in attempting to cut production costs.
That would be the use of MIM baked slurry metal for critical gun parts.
