I just had a thought as to a restorative technique for a pitted chamber. It would require a re-blue, probably, but no machining other than chasing the chamber out again with a proper reamer, etc. The pits in the chamber could be filled in with silver brazing, provided it were prepared properly. Has anyone ever attempted this?
