I picked up a gun that had the frame replaced. Different serial, but it came from the same batch. The factory can confirm the status in such a case.

If the frame is replaced (the serial# part, frame, receiver, trigger group, what ever the official ser# part is) with a different serial #, then legally, it is a different gun.
So, if you send in a gun with a cracked frame, and you get back a gun with a different ser# , you got a replacement gun. (even if all the other parts are from your original gun, its legally a different gun, due to the serial#)
If you get it back with the original serial #, marked on a replacement frame (which factories can legally do), you got "your" gun back, repaired, not a replacement.
