Or is the lower fine? This is in the magwell. Will the crack get worst or can i use the lower long term without cause for concern? Should i buy a new lower?
Is this crack in an ar lower a concern?

Absolutely buy a new lower. How else do the suppliers stay in business. I will take that broken one off your hands.
In all seriousness, I wouldn’t worry about that tiny gouge. Doesn’t look deep at all. Not it a critical area. Don’t sweat it. If it really bothers you, JBWeld is locally available.

You're not shooting it enough if you've got time to notice shit like that.
True hahaha. I only looked because i accidentally over torqued a buffer tube due to torque wrench failure with a polymer magwell vise block so i inspected for damage. This is what i saw. So was wondering if it was compromised or safe to use still
The mag catch? Norgon ambi mag catch. I cant see anything on that side.

I removed my mag catch to check. Just looks like a casting or mim line to me
Yea. Like i said i messed up. Is the lower still usable or should i just buy another one?
Is this your first AR?
That magwell is going to show all manner of scrapes and scratches after a few range sessions.
Yes i get that but what i mean is the current gouges wont proceed into cracks in the long run and wont weaken the receiver in that area if the rifle is dropped?
I think you need a borescope just to make sure. Don't forget to check out the barrel real good.
