What's the best glue or whatever to fix this please ?

Like others have said... WGP in Edmonton is your best bet.
But if you're like me and you want to see if it can be repair.
If the pieces fit together perfectly, I'd use some small stiff steel wire, an appropriate size drill. Drill a couple holes through both pieces insert the wire and use slow cue GB Weld on all.
Used this method on a few high stress items and they're still good today.

I don't think so, they are off my shopping list unless I can't find it anywhere else. The shipping in this case was well over half the cost of the part. It could have easily been shipped by letter mail rather than taping that little plastic bag to the bottom of that huge cardboard box.
But I guess some staff are just not hired for their smarts!
 
I’d just get the part you need from WGP and be done with it
I would still try to fix/ reinforce your broken one to see if it holds up
Worst case senerio you have a spare one to use if the repaired one fails
Shipping costs unfortunately are what they are
I remember paying dlask 30 bucks shipping for a tm22 charging handle, ridiculous but it is what it is
 
There's been a ton of suggestions here. If you're going to attempt to glue, you absolutely have to know what type of plastic it is. Use the best product available for that specific material and keep your fingers crossed.
 
One thing I seem to recall with these plastic parts on this era of shotgun is that not only do they crack like that they also seem to curl and change shape. The clamping and adhesive needs to over come this pressure as well.

Nothing works in trying to repair that broken piece. Stress broke it and that stress will still be there on a weak attempted joint.

It needs replaceing. Period.

Western Gun Parts is a good place to start.

I fixed a lot of aircraft wings broken by stress that are still flying 30 years later. I get your point with plastic parts though.

WGP seems to have that what we need but I'd really need to be desperate to deal with them again. Someone in their shipping department lacks common sense or maybe it is just store policy.
I recently ordered a Cooey extractor and they put it in a box that for comparison would hold at least 3 lbs of butter. A bubble envelope or an ordinary envelope would have done the job for a lot less than $18.35 in shipping. That sort of price also ADDS to the GST one must pay!
Happy to get the part but certainly not thrilled with their shipping.

I would be able to pick it up for You and mail it in something that would only fit 73grams of margarine
 
Take the part to a guy with a 3 d printer. It's not difficult to duplicate. There's also a guy on this site or the other one ( GP)who has all kinds of old Cooey and Win. single shot parts including those hinges in both plastic and metal, which was used on the early versions of that model. His handle on the site is 'poor man jack' and he's in Beamsville ON. Good guy with a surprising number of old parts.

Hey Everyone. I'm wondering what's the best glue or whatever to use to try and fix this hinge for the Remington single shot shotgun ? I know this part is hard to find so want to give it a try at repairing it. It's broken in half as pics show.
Any help would be great !
Thank you !

That’s Bakelite. You would best try a two part epoxy but honestly that plastic needs to be clean and dry prior to any repair. Honestly, check around for a replacement. Bakelite is finicky and very unforgiving.
 
Bakelite as well as old ping pong balls and types of movie film can be turned into a low grade C-4.... OOOps probably shouldn't say stuff like that...
But cyanoacrylate is the do all adhesive...
