I don't know why the last half of the photos won't post, so here's "part 2".




The vent screw is cut from the stock, slotted to index correctly and filed to match the contours of the fence.




Then the head of the screw is engraved to match the original before being case-hardened along with the bushing (disc).


After fabricating and heat-treating a new firing pin, the gun is reassembled and the job is finished.
The breechface and radius damage is cleaned up as much as possible and hopefully the amateur that did the damage in the first place finds his true calling.
