HELP! Polymer Lower Repair

[CodeBlue]

I'm looking for a gunsmith that can repair a polymer lower receiver on my ATI Omni Hybrid 5.56. The wall for the safety locking roll pin is broken on the inside wall of the receiver. Believe it or not this is a new rifle and shot only 6 rounds through it before it failed to fire again. Unbelievable - you get what you pay for I guess.

Best repair would be a replacement, with aluminum.
Aside from that, you could always try JB Weld.
I'm not joking. That stuff is hard as nails when properly applied, can be sanded, drilled, tapped, and even painted.

I dont or wouldn't have a poly ar lower, but try JB weld. I've used it on cast 380 80% lower and has been 10 years.

I will give it a try, it's in a real difficult tight area. Thank you.

Yeah this is the only polymer AR15 I ever purchased. All of my others AR's are aluminum.

Toothpicks and popsicle sticks make great little towels to get into tight areas.

Repair injected plastic, good luck.
I would toss it in the trash and buy a $50.00 Anderson lower.

Can you still buy a $50 Anderson lower?

Wait, don't tell me...I don't need another one...
