I suspect S&W doesn't actually make the lower receiver, and they affix the S/N plate when the rifle is assembled?

But this brings up the question in my mind about whether or S&W would be in hot water with the BATF as a manufacturer, possibly not being in compliance with a BATF regulation regarding how the S/N has to be put on the receiver.

I'm kind of surprised at S&W's initial complacency regarding a s/n plate coming off, if it can happen to one gun due to some kind of defect, it can happen to others.

When you get the gun back, post back how it was fixed... being polymer I would guess another plate affixed.
