If you have the peice that broke off there are good glues you can use , if you have good retention and porosity.
But its still cast and weak stuff..

He's in Mississippi, which means that 1) he doesn't need to save the old POS reciever, but 2) he probably doesn't have the $100 for a new forged unit.

M60 Joe can reweld it to "like new", but it may be cheaper to buy a new unit.

Get a forged receiver while you're at it.
