what about welding up using a henrob type gas torch, fine point heat etc ?
I once saw at a swap meet a factory rep rejoin a very thin sliced steel can nearly perfectly with henrob. seems like it was steel coffee can. weld was perfect and no metal warping, slightly beaded up ridge at the joined seam. burn thru with electric arc I can appreciate that ! good luck Bill |

Bill,
that would be a LOT of welding, and then even more filing and smoothing. For those who didn't see the condition here are a couple pictures again. And what it looks like with a little cold blue and dressed out with the nice upper and grips. I think I will just work on the few spots i can improve and then treat it to a re- blue for protection/appearance, and keep it as an interesting shooter. It does shoot sweetly. Quote:

I would pass on doing this one too. Life is too short and I am too old.
