Cracked lower repair?

[ta0117]

I shot it again and it functioned fine. Hopefully it was just a crack in the cerakote then. Geissele triggers have a really strong hammer spring, and the surface crack on the lower receiver had me really worried.

I'd even be willing to bet Noveske might cover it under warranty, give them a call and find out. If not having them replace the receiver can't be too damn expensive.

Can a manufacturer replace a receiver and use the same serial number, or does it have to be transferred as a new firearm?

No.

They would have to replace the receiver with a new "firearm."

Just curious, since cerakote doesn't seem to be as hard as anodizing or 7075-T6 aluminum, would the finish conceal cracks underneath?

Stop worrying and continue shooting.
