It holds my bar in place, it'll certainly fix your cracked lower. I used JB Weld to reseat a bolt in my chainsaw. It holds my bar in place, it’ll certainly fix your cracked lower.

The trigger guard is part of the grip and it covers the wings. Take a look at the pistol grip from Stark Equipment. The trigger guard is part of the grip and it covers the wings.

Other than the buffer tube and maybe the cross-bolts, an AR lower doesn't get much stress. Looking at my own AR, it looks as though a worst-case scenario is that the piece falls off and your trigger guard hangs free. I can’t see that this is really a problem.

The kids only had it a few hours and it fell out (before I epoxied it in). They hammer on the rod in an attempt to get sparks and it hasn't fallen out since. The rod itself, however, is a dented and mauled thing these days. I used JB Weld to seal the sparker rod back into the magnesium block of a cheap firestriker I bought.

(For that matter, so is the epoxy plastic, love that stuff for when those air filter housings and other such covers crack over time.) But, would never use the stuff to try to fix a cracked block, or even a cracked radiator, unless it was like a "last V8 in the world" sort of situation. However, it looks as if there isn't a lot of stress on the point where you used it (not being very familiar with ARs, I could be wrong). It appears it would hold up pretty well. Worst case, you run a few hundred or thousand or so rounds through it, realize it's come apart, clean it off, and re-epoxy it. Give Fast Eddie my regards :) As an auto mechanic, I can attest JB Weld is great stuff.
