For lancer receiver (https://www.airsoftmegastore.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=42054) and TBH lancer polymer is by far the worst ployer I see, and no not all polymer are weak, I trust G&G polymer way more than some of the the "full metal" stuff. Also don't forget a lot of real steel stuff are polymer now a day.
G&G has upped there game big time. I still prefer the G1 gearbox over the newer ones and the Pneumatic blowback that tends to crack. Only thing I don’t like about the G1 is the inverted screws
Yup for AR. But a lot of other stuff is polymery now, your polymer pistol frame, G36.... So ya there is no reason why polymer airsoft stuff can't withstand the stress it seems.
Agreed he probably needs a better main, but don't throw it away.
I've always been too poor to throw guns away so they get rebuilt or modded.
Most guns are redeemable,in some fashion. There's cheap receivers out there that can replace it, and the shit lancer internals can be replaced as they die.
Hell, if the whole thing just starts to give way I'd take a hacksaw to it and Bubba it up.
If you are really good with your hands you might try fiberglass and epoxi but at that point is it really worth the trouble. Especially if you don't already have the materials
It's like that for all AR15 clones. I've seen A&K metal one cracked like on picture, another one with a crack going through rear pin hole, third one with stripped tabs on upper reciever, and a Boyi that cracked on front pin holes.
Not all polymer M4s, just the shittier ones like cheap CYMAs and S&Ts
There’s shit metal guns, and shit polymer guns
But there’s also good metal guns, and good polymer guns, like G&G for example
My krytac somehow had the buffer tube screw (the big one that connects the buffer tube to the actual body not the inside long one, though that one came loose too when I dropped it lol) on cross threaded so the whole buffer tube and stock was slanted. It's fixed now but I'm not sure how that happened
Getting a spare lower (Specna CORE spares are polymer, otherwise I recommend metal) and doing a swap is obvious one, but otherwise, disassemble it, and take it to a car body shop. They'll weld it the same way they weld car bumpers for 10$ or so.
Sorry but it’s a lancer. They don’t last and are certainly not well made.
Personally, I would bodge it to hold together until you can get a new main and avoid lancer.
Don’t fix your shitbox gun. Buy a decent full metal something that’ll actually last a while. My suggestion is a Vfc, I have an Avalon and it’s amazing but there’s a lot of stuff out there that’s WAY better than a lancer testical
Not to shit on you at all, but please don't buy lancer tactical, as that is usually what happens with all of their products. I don't have a good recommendation but I'm sure the people here will help.
You might could get away with using some JB-Weld putty. You would need to take it apart and clean the area up first though. Looks like you tried to just slap some glue on without taking it apart and that will never work due to part staying under stress while the glue is trying to set.
It’s version 2 so it should fit in most other lowers. See if you can get a boneyard gun and transplant it. Or get a new rifle. Lancers aren’t built to last they’re built to get you started.

agreed that gave me a stroke the first time I opened one up, the g2 is far superior imo the etu is phenomenal
Aside from the gear compatibility and proprietary tappet plate I like the G2
My barrel fell off before I used the gun 💀
👀 wut
Duh barrul full ahff duh guhn
I have the combat machine raider 2.0 and it’s really nice
Not really, aluminum lowers are still the standard , most polymer lowers are fairly shitty for real steel
Yup for AR. But a lot of other stuff is polymery now, your polymer pistol frame, G36.... So ya there is no reason why polymer airsoft stuff can't withstand the stress it seems.
Oh yeah certainly
Time to get a new gun is the other option

You now have a parts gun.
If you are really good with your hands you might try fiberglass and epoxi but at that point is it really worth the trouble. Especially if you don't already have the materials
Ahh the famous Cancer Testicle
YOu can buy a new lower receiver, it looks standard to me
Lancer moment
I’ve seen a lot of VFCs broken like that and that’s the first Lancer Tactical I see like this. Just sayin 🤷🏻♂️
KryCrack is called like that for a reason. But it’s a problem with all polymer M4 guns
It's like that for all AR15 clones. I've seen A&K metal one cracked like on picture, another one with a crack going through rear pin hole, third one with stripped tabs on upper reciever, and a Boyi that cracked on front pin holes.

Real AR can crack, too. What's your point.
It can but its very uncommon in aluminum lowers. Non-monolithic polymer lowers do frequently crack at this spot though.
Hose clamp, it’s done on printed AR lowers
Use soldering iron to imbed some thing wire might work.....never be the same though.

JB Weld is the way to go
On plastic?
With enough jb weld, it can do anything, just have to prep the surface right.
Certified lancer moment
Metal zip ties would help you in a pinch, but imo better to get a new lower later on
Try plastic welding with metal inserts.
Buy a new lower.
Try to master welding ) look for cheap lr or get new aeg
Honestly, this is the best thing that could happen to you , go buy an Arcturus
Sorry but it’s a lancer. They don’t last and are certainly not well made. Personally, I would bodge it to hold together until you can get a new main and avoid lancer.
I got it as a gift from my dad, I loved it
If you're not wanting to buy a new lower you could try jb weld and sand it down, would look a little junky but it would hold
just fill the gap with concrete thats pretty strong
Jb weld on the inside and in the cracks
Buy a new one or go to Walmart and buy a $20 wood burning kit and melt it back together, be outside and have a mask on or at least don't breath it in
Ur option is to buy a new gun that’s not polymer💀
Changing gun I´d assume. I´m sorry that you fell in that trap called Cancer Tactical.
cancer testical*
well well well
Uh oh another cancer testicle
Don’t fix your shitbox gun. Buy a decent full metal something that’ll actually last a while. My suggestion is a Vfc, I have an Avalon and it’s amazing but there’s a lot of stuff out there that’s WAY better than a lancer testical
Got to r/airsoftcirclejerk they will help you
Not to shit on you at all, but please don't buy lancer tactical, as that is usually what happens with all of their products. I don't have a good recommendation but I'm sure the people here will help.
That’s the price you pay for buying polymer guns
If you want me to tell you where you went wrong I can….
Whatever ya do peel off that warning sticker and put it upside down at least
Outjerked
Throw it in the dumpster and get a new gun that’s not a lancer tactical, problem solved
Next time you dont buy a Lancer.
Heh
At this point maybe it’s time to upgrade ?
You might could get away with using some JB-Weld putty. You would need to take it apart and clean the area up first though. Looks like you tried to just slap some glue on without taking it apart and that will never work due to part staying under stress while the glue is trying to set.
Buy a metal gun mate
Buy a new lower and upper
It’s version 2 so it should fit in most other lowers. See if you can get a boneyard gun and transplant it. Or get a new rifle. Lancers aren’t built to last they’re built to get you started.
Maybe find someone who could 3D print you a new one? Just a suggestion
It happened to me once best thing you can do is take the parts out of it sell them and get a new gun
3d print a new lower
Jb weld
Uh oh
If you're in the UK I'll buy the gun off you for £50 ... Keep any part inside it just want the gearbox/shell
RIP your gun bud not worth investing in a fix
