I had Hugh Lomas put a gun back on face for me, It cost $300 and was worth every penny. The Crescent cost $45 for welding the hook and a lot of filing and fitting to cut the weld down and refit the hook. Because of other more serious problems it was more work then the gun was worth (chalk it up to learning). Like I said earlier, try the soda-can shim, it won't hurt anything and will last a long time.
