Looks like it coming from the thinnest part of the rail groove[?]

I sure there will be no problem with a replacement slide.  It's just one of those thing that "Happen".  

The whole gun must be returned, for fitting of new slide...

Just my thoughts, I sure that will be the outcome..

...not to worry

As RJ indicated, the crack started at what could be considered an intrinsically weaker point due to less mass at that point - but still shouldn't happen. Not only will Rohrbaugh replace it, I am sure they will give it a detailed metallurgical exam that will provide them with very useful information to ensure that this is not a design flaw. Even failures can be helpful at times!

Let us know what happens.

My new G-36 cracked its slide about 300rnds into its brief life.

Glock replaced it.

I still have the gun and it it's doing well.

Just to let everyone know these things happen.. what's important is how they are handled.
