Does anyone have a good fix for a broken ear on the lower? Its on the pin side of the trigger guard. Its a spikes lower so trying to salvage it.

Another way is to use one of the several aftermarket grips with the trigger guard built in.. That is what I would do..

Stark makes a grip with the guard built in. That really bites to break an ear off. Think theirs will cover it up too. Take a look.

JBWeld and a Magpul MIAD. Been there, done that. A little touch up and it looks like a scratch And a backing block in your tool box so you don't do it agin.

Take it by a shop that knows how to tig weld or heliark. It's gonna take some refinishing but it can be done.
You might as well get another striped lower and sell that one. Stating whats broke.

The Magpul MOE trigger guards have a short allen screw that only catches on one side anyway.
Just put the guard in place and thread the short allen in from the good side and ride it like you stole it!
You could also use a small screw so the head will hold it in place if you are worried.
Cheers,
