    Happened to me, I used a extra strength 2 part epoxy, just a dab will do ya, put a little bit on both sides and depending on how it broke exactly,(mine wasn't a shear break more of a crack and peeled break) I used a small c clamp to hold it in place for a while and used a small knife to shave off any excess epoxy as it was drying. Worked great and can hardly tell it broke. Btw this was on a raw lower that I painted so touch up was easy. Don't feel to bad it's a non critical area and **** happens
    You kick a donkey enough and it will bite you. Yep its on the net look it up.

      Great advice. Mine is a very clean breake, and I have JB weld.
      Question ?
      Has anyone used that 2-peice epoxy called X-7 ? I think that's what is called ?
      What was the best you have found?

        i have found that usiing a bench vise to install the pins for the trigger guard is the easiest way. once it is almost to the end i then use a punch. but i have used a bench vise by itself and it is flush. i had a few sheets of paper folded in between the receiver and pin so not to scratch the receiver

            I use a 'C' clamp to push in the pin, works great.

                I have a bunch of c-clamps and never thought about using it! would have been much easier.

                      Mag pul MIAD full kit has an insert with an integrated trigger guard but they are a little hard to find since they started making seperate trigger guards.
                      I support peace through superior firepower.
