plastic frame
I don't have any problems with my frame but I'm wondering what would happen if it got damaged, perhaps scratched badly or melted a little bit or some of it got chiped off. Would springfield fix it or give me a new frame under the lifetime warrenty or would I have to buy a new frame? If I did, I wonder how much it would cost.

I doubt it since you would have to smash it, run over it with a car, drop it in a deep fryer or take a torch to it.

I doubt Springfield would do anything unless it caused the gun to malfunction.

I would guess that any of the situations described are not considered normal wear and tear and would not be covered. I wouldn't expect them to replace for free your frame that you melted on a hot stove or something.

They might suprise you and replace it. I know I read where S&W replaced a Sigma frame after the owners Rottweiler ate it.

I was just thinking about it last time I was cleaning it. I wonder it, is it possible and easy to fix a damaged frame? Say, if a chunk was grouged out of it. Really, there is nothing wrong with my frame, I just got thinking about it since it's just plastic and more easily damaged than the metel. I do plan on getting some stainless steel parts for it made though, such as the locking block and take down lever and pins.

I think those parts are already metal.

I think they're metal as well.
This isn't just your garden variety plastic. These "polymers" are fairly high-tech. There are plenty of metals that will give up the ghost before this stuff. Good luck breaking it! Seriously--I wouldn't worry about it for a second. If it breaks in some kind of freak accident, SA should make good on it.

I think a sharp object could dig in to the frame easily or anything that's metal pressing on it could dig in to it.
