No Matt I'm saving that weld job for you, you might have to clean the dust off but its still in the same place.

Well no matter what you think about it, IMHO its one heck of a job, I can find no porosity in any of the weld lines, even where he re-broached the rails. I have welded up a lot of actions one way or the other there always seems to be that one little pin hole that has to be a pain. I compared an original bolt to the one here it was not just cut down, but filled in and re-machined and again no sign of a weld.
