Ok, I bought a shotgun barrel with a mis mounted rail on it. I though I would just be able to redrill the mounting holes and be good. This barrel is 1+ inches in diameter and only a 20ga, so there is a lot of steel to work with. I get the scope rail off and to my suprize, it was screwed on to a piece of steel that was welded on to the barrel.
Can I break the welds without doing damage to the heat treat? I know if I grid slow enough and with an oil bath I can probably do it... but what do the pro's say? The hole thats been tapped for the front bead is perfect, so I may just use it old school if I can get this "rail" off my barrel. I can use it that way now, but I don't like the looks of it.
