If you love it then fix it. Whats it going to cost you to buy another Remington that may or may not be in as good of condition as your FIXED Remington.

Laser welding it is no panacea here. Welding it cold with laser will result in either a very hard heat affected zone or even cracks. Laser welds above melting temps of the metal. It just keeps the extraneous heat to a minimum. But you have problems welding cold steel. You'll need to come back and normalize a large weld. Just fix it the way it was made.

Chuck i believe you are right about fixing it the way it was made.
get it all put back together, and then i can try to rust blue it my self.
the search continues for a relatively affordable option. I have reached out to the smiths recommended in this thread, hopefully they will have good news.

i would assume that fitting a new set of barrels would entail some of the same things i need done to make these barrels work again.
They were all hand fit, not sure how much variance from gun to gun was common.

Gunter has fixed 2 or 3 guns of my guns that had the loop come loose. Not a big deal. Turnbull also fixed a friends Smith. I suggest a direct conversation with some good gunsmiths.
