bro broke the trigger guard pin holes on his lower with his retard strength
lowers with integral trigger guards will always be superior, unless you actually use winter gloves and your gun at the same time, instead of just staying inside like a normal person with a warm fireplace and blanket. fucking weridos
>buy integral trigger guard lower >drop rifle >trigger guard breaks >have a permantly fucked lower
>use a block of wood and a quality roll pin punch >install trigger guard >drop rifle >trigger guard breaks >use same block of wood and roll pin punch to replace it
They are actually rather good and a good fix to the broken ear problem I personally like the MOE grip because my area goes 110 to -30 so I wear all kinds of gloves.
Most unlikely super thin there. Stark A1 is your best option to keep it usable the grip is actually good. If that embarrasses you just use tactifag terms to justify it. "Bro the Stark helps me drive the weapon and keep a harder center axis relock" presto problem solved for 33 bucks plus shipping.
I could probably weld this back together. You would have to remove the anodizing around the area and that's not so easy to replace. Personally I wouldn't bother because quality lowers are $100.
How does this happen? Did OP miss with a hammer completely and smash that lip off? Even then I’d think the trigger guard being in there would support it enough to prevent breakage.
This is pretty common. Someone makes a tool for that pin. It's like a little c-clamp that you screw in and it installs the pin. I'm certain you could buy an actual 1" c-clamp and do more than one roll pin with it better than a lot of retards hammer them in.
Yes you could have someone tig weld it but unless they're a pretty experienced aluminum welder it will be worse, and you still have to file down the filler metal so you're looking at some dremel work on the inside and you'll probably fuck it up. This lower goes in the parts bin with the ear wired to it so it doesn't get lost, or buy that ugly grip with the guard integral that looks like a goddamned dildo with the little clit stimulator.
Yeah the tool costs as much as a bottom tier lower (30?) but you'll do more lowers and it will be worth it.
How possible is it to convert a lower with an integral trigger guard to a pinned one? I would like the ability to unpin it for winter usage and it seems like it would be a pretty simple job of figuring out where the two spots you need to drill are, cutting the trigger guard out, filing it down, then dremel out the channel for the trigger guard to be inserted- but maybe it's harder than I think.

Make sure to KYS before doing all that, please.
Why do you hate the idea? If I already have a lower that is set up how I want but it has the integrated trigger guard I'd like to be able to change that without buying another lower just for that feature.
Full time winter trigger guard.
Just loop some bailing wire on it
I recall a couple grips with a build in guard that skip the use of the rear pins
DD makes a grip and trigger guard combo that doesn't look SO obvious that you fucked this up.
What am I looking at? Ww1 era m16?

How does something skip past the pistol grip and the magazine and the magwell to hit the trigger guard? You fucking noguns armchair commando.
How are you going to drop your rifle so that the grip, stock, barrel, etc doesn’t hit the ground first?
>he doesn't operate in the mountains with rocks
sorry you didn't think about it before you had daddy buy you one Anon.
A rock that fits inbetween a magazine and grip?
You find yourself operating in caves often?
yeah. your mother's
How many the trigger guard pinholes break on install where as a trigger guard never has. How are you this retarded?
Looks like a Stark grip is in your future.

Unironically my favorite grip.

Time to upgrade to Stark grip which cover up your shame
or the Daniel Defense ones which doesn't cover up the broken ear, it will be a constant reminder of your shame
The stark grip is its own mark of shame
That grip does look pretty comfortable regardless. 6/10 would consider.
>tfw your last name is Stark and you'd like to rep your family name but its considered a badge of shame
OP here, is it possible to have the tab TIG welded back on or should I just move all the parts to one of my stripped lowers and eat the L?

Good welder can do it, bad one can fuck up the rest of your body.

Its 2023, why the fuck are companies still making lowers without a built in trigger guard like pic related?
I guess you don't use winter gloves
I stay inside warm and cozy during the winter. We invented housing and heating you fucking freak.
Yeah but what if the lights go out
Aero lowers like from pic posted allows you to use winter gloves still
it is probably less than 100 ppl that use the winter config
The original design is free to use without royalties, so you'd have to license a design or come up with a new one yourself.
Every time I change a trigger guard that's in the back of my head, and every time I'm finished I wonder how people mess it up.
How does this happen? Did OP miss with a hammer completely and smash that lip off? Even then I’d think the trigger guard being in there would support it enough to prevent breakage.
Good question, how did this happen? If you want to do it again, any kind of fix will just make it worse.
next time spend $10 on the right tools anon

Or just use flat-faced knipex pliers that everyone probably already has in their toolbox. No need for a dedicated tool for this.
I use my bench vice
Accidental sage above
it's called winter trigger retard
spray paint it white, now
just flex seal the whole gun together
