As mentioned yesterday the barrels were a little loose. So as seen in the picture posted earlier, Claudio used his laser welder to build up the metal on the hook so he had something to work with. Then he uses a scraper to shape the hook to fit the barrel.







He's aiming for a close, tight fit, but not all the way.

Then it's time to blacken down the barrel face:



Until full contact is reached.



A little work is also applied to the locking bolt surfaces and then it's all as good as new.



The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
