[QUOTE="761mph, post: 2040655, member: 197"] i had one damaged the same way and being a welder i thought it would be an easy fix i made the repair but wasn't happy with the results so i went with another route i took a small piece of alum. flat strap and filed it to match the original shape of the ear i got a drill bit and tap and a couple of machine screws from work(i worked for a gunsmith at the time) i ground the old ear flush with the grip area of the receiver and drilled and tapped the receiver, then matched the "new" ear with matching countersunk holes a little bit of black paint and loctite and here is the result most people don't even notice the repair [/QUOTE]
