Well, I'm certainly not attempting to jostle anyone's apple cart. My Father loved shooting in england, and english shotguns and double rifles. The same bug bit me. I would never hold myself out to be any kind of expert on the subject, just a journeyman on a learning adventure. I was just sharing a story I was lucky enough to experience, that's all.

So what is the great sin in moving a .001 or .002 inch of metal to compensate for a little ware? Much kinder to an old gun than welding or adding a piece. Gun is still original and good for many more years of service.
It’s a time proven and effective repair that’s been widely used and approved by the English trade to tighten up bolt fit. Thank you so much for being gracious enough to explain that you CAN in fact "weld or add a piece" in the forearm rather than beat on it with a hammer and a chisel. I knew all along that I knew what I was talking about. And that is definitely the route that I would have taken. Regardless of the cost and the amount I paid for the gun. That is just the way I am. My theory is- if you can't afford to do something properly, you're in the wrong business. And regardless of whether or not that I could actually see the "repair", I would still know that my gun was beat to a pulp and that would have bothered me. So, thanks again for your reply. It is appreciated.

That’s what you got out of Marks post? You might have a reading comprehension problem. I believe what Mark was saying is that welding up or adding a piece of metal to something that needs .001-.002 when you can move the metal using tools is unnecessary and potentially more intrusive and detrimental to the part than the peening. Not to mention the time it’s going to take to fit the parts back up.
So again, you don’t know what you’re talking about. You do realize that some of the guys that have commented on here are actually working professional gunsmiths, pretty highly regarded in the business right? Have years of actual training, experience and real hands on know how? Taking the time out of their day to explain what is a universally accepted method is…..And then there’s you.

Theirs often many different ways to repair or restore something. As long as the results are good that’s what matters.
If you don’t like a method don’t do it or don’t hire it done that way.
What’s going on over the last several pages is what has driven away a lot of very knowledgeable folks.

Okay Repunsil, I think it is time to stop listening to your insignificant drivel. You have been proven wrong. You won't bully and name call me from posting. It is obvious now that most people ignore your unknowledgeable blather. I will happily join them. I have friends who are gunsmiths and they told me they would never beat on a Model 21 the way Larry Potterfield did. So please, as you said earlier, enjoy your day by going out and hunting over trained dogs, while you "look down at your pecker". 😂😂😂 And have a nice day, Repunsil.
