Gnomon, the Midway video explains the use of Loctite. I much prefer the video method to any other.

Same here, I used the shim stock from brownells in .002 and used industrial Black loktite to secure it. Works great.

Have you asked your self why is it so much of face? Is it wear and tear , lack of maintenance or the wrong cartridges being used? Is there an underlying problem you have not yet discovered such as a loose lump or badly fitting joint pin ? Best get these checked before you do any work .

Every time this subject is discussed, someone mentions the fact that the recess in the lug may not be round, so the shimmed surface may not be round. My reply is "Well, what am I supposed to do about it?" I think for home made repairs, it should be assumed that both the recess and the pin are "round enough". If we want to make it rounder or better mated, just use a lot of smoke and round files. Or not.

Soldering the shim into place. A .005/.006" shim at the very most is all I can recall ever using. .002/.004" usually does it. That lets me refit it back on face with a little extra. .012" off face to start with is a lot of room. Somethings up, or has been done to it already I'd think. Look it over closely

.012 off the face is excessive and unlikely the result of fair wear and tear! My concern would be that the action may have been bent [over stressed by the use of inappropriate ammunition.]Recommend for safety reasons that you check the action for cracks in particular at the corner junction of the water table and the vertical breech face and the barrel lumps; prior to undertaking any other work.

Checked. If the shim doesn't work. I'm out the cost of a shim and some locktite. I don't see the problem. I'm doing nothing that can't be fixed.

How about your hands if the gun should fail?
