Just got in two 1908 Mausers receivers that is pitted towards the top front of the receiver where the barrel would screw into the receiver and below the wood line. I was going to remove all the new blueing and fill with JB Weld and sand smooth but then. thought Why not just fill with tintype metal. I have some that I melted down into ingots. I can melt down again and pour over the pitted area and sand everything back into shape.. Has anyone tried this or heard of it being done? I looked in Youtube but no luck there. Also, my gunsmith located in bullshoals passed on. I really liked him as a person and respected his decades of experience. People like this will be really missed. Does anyone here have a recommendation who and where I might send a few of my receivers out for bolt face work, polishing, scope mount and truing? I live in Mountain home Arkansas and there is no replacement anywhere near me. So, I will have to send the receivers out by mail.
