I don't think Milliput or the other artist grade 2 part putties are very heat resistant. I use Aves all the time and they have a product called Fixit that claims to be good to 500F.

It's for an AR so I'm not too concerned about temperature - more concerned with adhesion after banging it around. |

Lauer Durakote make a special filler for filling defects in guns prior to coating.
You might try that since it's made for that purpose. |

Degrease and use metal auto body filler.
A tube type one should be enough material without buying a can of Bondo. Apply paint. |
