Hello.
I've just joined here and want to ask a question about correcting a modification to a trigger housing. This is off my M1 Carbine and the drilled hole renders the housing unusable as a correct part for my rifle. This is a common mod done by armorers in the day to knock a stuck spring out the other side. A replacement housing in unmodded condition is hard to find, so I want to repair this one. The other housing pic shows one that has not been modified as an example.
What is a good permanent repair for this? The housing can't be reparked afterwards because that just makes it unusable in finish for the rifle like the hole does. It'll have to be painted or something similar to help blend it back to resemble the finish. Any advice?
TIA, Doug
