Can a guy weld a lower back together????

Get another lower. Funny because this is the answer that frustrated me the most because I did it to one of my Colts and it's not exactly a lower that turns up for sale very often. I had a block of wood for support on the dog ear and whil tapping I didn't realize it worked it's way out and well...



I've looked and looked for a fix, only worthwhile solutions I found is to
A. deal with it
B. glue the piece back on and blend as best you can
C. buy the Stark grip (uglier than a mutha IMO)
D. buy a new lower

I went with A. plus the full MIAD kit.

Stark Pistol Grip maybe your only answer

Graves that is exactly what mine looks like, I put new pin in and pressed it and it's broke but together. Just the crack line.

Still it's not the same... Tear...Tear

Henpecked, I might look into that, but I'll probably try and epoxy or JB weld it...lol

i have had very good results using JB weld 2 part epoxy. the trick it to be patient enough allowing the epoxy time to cure. The best way i have found for trigger guard pin install is

1) taper one side of the roll pin very slightly in grinder, using a file OR WECSOG it with a dremel
2) place pin in freezer after applying a slight film of oil.
3) i use a wood shim as the backer on bottom (Opposite) side of lower where pin is being inserted.
4) remove pin from freezer and install tapered end first. Using a hemostat ro hold the pin allows you to ensure pin is not going in on an angle

5) if tab breaks see opening paragraph
