I have a side-plate gun that has a couple very small chips at the very end of the inlet area.

Intuitively I would think the fix to keeping it from worsening is to just relieve that area just a fart skin.

It is a 12 ga BSS side plate gun. Steps to stock removal would be appreciate. If this is more involved than a fairly straight forward stock removal and just a bit of scrapping please tell me to back off.

Thanks
