Tried the super glue idea but it did not hold when the mag got filled. I suspect oil had impregnated the plastic at the split hence the glue not holding.
Footnote: I found on the net a review of rifle identical to mine but was labeled as a JW14, on my rifle the area where the ‘JW10A’ is stamped had been ground off prior to the 10A being stamped.
