Tm plastic receivers show up in the for "Parts and accessories" sale section often enough. Or if you want to take the leap, upgrade to a full metal receiver instead.
Check the barrel, hopup and nozzle for damage.

Armalite receivers almost always crack at the rear tabs, so to have it crack at the front, you may have a more serious problem. Find out from your friend exactly what happened.
