[QUOTE="morcey2, post: 1179368, member: 71004"] I'd say it's a paperweight unless it's some ultra-rare variant and you have all of the original parts. They could probably be hard-soldered back on or something like that, but alignment might be an issue. If you've got all the other parts, I'd probably just try to find a new receiver. The commercial versions (no stripper-clip thumb cutout) are a little harder to come by but they're out there. Just remember that the stripped receiver is legally a firearm so it can't be used as a true paperweight at work in lots of places (as cool as that would be), especially if you work for the Federal Govt. They tend to frown upon that from what I'm told. :D Matt [/QUOTE]
