Okay like the title says I was trying to install a new trigger guard and when I was taking the old trigger guard out i snapped off one of the ears right in front of the grip. what are my options to get this fixed? can it be welded? glued? do I have to get a new lower? where can I get a new lower?

New lowers are pretty cheap at the moment.  You could get a Stark grip.  JB Weld it back on.  Plenty of options.  It could be welded, but it'd cost more than a new lower.

Perfect excuse to acquire a Swiss stamped lower IMO. ;)

Unless you're referring to a Sig Ar-15 and not a 556. If that's the case, just get a new lower.

Thank you for the help!

Where would be a good place to start looking for a new lower? I apologize for the stupid question but I've never researched lowers for a 556, I have a bunch of experience with AR lowers though.

Why a Swiss stamped lower?

Get one of these for your new lower.

You can get new lowers direct from Sig, but they do pop up on GB occasionally. It might have been helpful to clarify it was for a 556 in your OP. If you just want a basic one configured for an AR buffer tube, I can help you with that.

Pretty sure he's talking AR, and meant Daniel Defense has a pistol grip with built in trigger guard.

I too have felt the shame of of the broken ear...
I solved the problem with a Magpul MIAD full kit that has the front strap with integral trigger guard.
