Lower receivers for KWA/KSC MAC-11 (ns2 system)
So after plenty of healthy use and many many games, the rear sight/triangle tab on my KWA MAC-11 is beginning to split/peel off from the back of the lower receiver. As the bolt doesn't actually slam against the plastic itself, rather the metal reinforcements on the inside, it's not a performance-affecting problem (yet); but I want to nip this in the bud and find a more permanent solution than the rubber bands I am currently using to keep it sturdy. One day it's going to break clean off, I'm certain. I've tried superglue but it's just not strong enough to form a permanent bond.
What I'm looking for (and having a hard time finding) is a steel lower receiver or a brand new plastic one to replace it, but for the life of me I can't seem to source something like this. I have the G&P steel kit on mine, but it only came with the upper, mock suppressor and stock -- no lower; not to mention it's getting harder and harder to find complete G&P kits nowadays anyway. Not certain whether or not they're out of production, but it seems that way.
Anyone run into this cracking/splitting issue before? I'd be happy to homebrew a solid fix for it, and it doesn't need to be super pretty if that's what it's going to come down to, but ultimately I would like to replace the lower receiver altogether and preferably with steel.
Any input is appreciated; I can post pics if requested. Cheers.
