Oscar, The advice given here is all useful, it will assist you in doing the repair.But at the end of the day it is your skill that will produce the final product.Let us not get into a spat with cherrybomb, he perhaps was well meaning.Yes you can do it his way, but how many us have a CNC or even a Bridgport at home versus the ones who have a file and silicon carbide paper on the bench? Each to his own.I have a friend who is a master gunmaker in Birmingham who produces superb work. He uses a stick welder and scares me to death, but that is how he does it.He also bends stocks with an acetylene torch and hot air gun.But he DOES NOT colour harden with a torch (last sentence included so I don't have my leg pulled at The Vintagers).
'Faint heart never won fair lady' 'Act in haste, repent at leisure' two sayings that need to be heeded, do some test pieces first, learn the skills and it will be a piece of cake to do the repair.Good luck.
