Question about Pitting

Crotalus · 01-08-2007, 11:47 AM

Hi Ron,
A good friend of mine is a welder and is actually keeping a TIG welder in my workroom. He says he's quite experienced using it, and seing his work I believe he knows what he's doing. He has never used it for pitting so I'm not sure exactly what you have to do for that (although he might anyway). Regardless I am about to get a mismatched shooter with lots of pitting and want to restore it best I can so that I can have something resembeling a pistol that I couldnt otherwise afford at this time (Translation: My wife would say no) as she doesnt understand why 4 old guns and 3 new ones isn't "enough". Anyway, do you have any suggestions on how to remove pitting using a TIG welder?
